The Convenience of Digital: How Our Online Arrangement Process Streamlines Direct Cremation

In times of difficulty and grief, the thought of navigating complex paperwork and formal office appointments can feel overwhelming. We understand that what families truly need is time and space to mourn, not added stress from administrative burdens. Our experience has shown us that the most supportive arrangement is one that is both dignified and simple.

That is why we developed the Sensible Choice Online Package—a straightforward, affordable, and compassionate approach to direct cremation. By leveraging the convenience of digital technology, we are able to streamline the necessary documentation and reduce our overhead, passing those significant savings directly on to you, our community.

For many families, especially those who are comfortable using modern digital tools, arranging services from the comfort and privacy of their own home is a massive relief. Instead of feeling rushed or pressured in an office setting, our online process offers a space for quiet contemplation and control over the decisions being made.

The foundation of this convenience is our ability to handle all necessary paperwork and signatures digitally. This eliminates the need for multiple in-person meetings, drastically speeding up the process and ensuring that all necessary legal forms and permits are completed efficiently. This streamlined documentation is a key part of the total Minimum Services charge that facilitates the disposition of the deceased.

We believe deeply that at a time of loss, there should be no surprises. The Sensible Choice Online Cremation Package is offered for an all-inclusive price of $1,525.00. This affordability is possible because of the administrative efficiencies gained through our digital process.

The total price includes everything required for a direct cremation. We provide this pricing transparency by ensuring all professional fees, necessary services, disbursements paid to third parties on your behalf, and all applicable taxes (HST) are included in that final cost.

This commitment to all-inclusive, transparent pricing is what makes our service a sensible choice for families in Whitchurch-Stouffville and the surrounding areas.

The package is comprehensive, ensuring every logistical need is met with dignity and professionalism. The core of the service is the itemized Minimum Services, which total $900.00 before other inclusions. This covers critical components such as:

• Professional and staff services, including coordination, arrangements, and guidance.
• Initial transfer of remains from the place of death (such as a hospital) to our holding facility.
• Minimum preparation of remains and the use of facilities for shelter and preparation, ensuring the deceased is held securely.
• The final transfer of remains to the crematorium.

For merchandise, the package includes the Victoriaville Cardboard Cremation Container cr194-00006. Crucially, a temporary cardboard container for the cremated remains is provided at no charge. We also offer an array of urn selections, including various designs in fiberboard, cast aluminum, metal alloy, and beautiful hardwoods, which can be viewed in our merchandise selection on our website for full pricing details.

One of the most valuable aspects of the all-inclusive package is that it covers the non-negotiable fees we must pay to third parties on your behalf. This removes the burden of tracking these various costs. Included disbursements are:

• The Cremation Fee at North Toronto Crematorium, which is $695.00.
• The Coroner's Fee, which is a provincially set fee of $75 and is required for issuing the certificate that allows cremation to take place.
• The Municipal Death Registration Fee of $45, charged by the local municipality to register the death and issue a burial permit.
• The Bereavement Authority of Ontario (BAO) Consumer Protection Fee of $30, which funds the BAO's regulatory activities.

By including the total for disbursements in the overall package price, we ensure the price you see is indeed the final price you pay.
