The Sensible Choice: A Breakdown of Our All-Inclusive Direct Cremation Package

We understand that when a loved one passes away, the last thing a family should have to worry about is a complicated and expensive arrangement process. Our experience has shown us that many families are looking for a simple, dignified, and straightforward way to say goodbye without the financial and logistical stress that can accompany traditional funeral services. A question we often hear is, "What exactly is included in your package?" This is a crucial question, because transparency and clarity are paramount during such a difficult time. The Sensible Choice Online Cremation Package was created to answer that need by offering an all-inclusive, transparent option that allows you to focus on what truly matters: honoring your loved one’s memory.

One of the core principles of Sensible Choice Cremation is that the price you see is the price you pay. There are no hidden fees or unexpected costs. For a single, affordable price of $1,525.00, our Online Cremation Package covers all the necessary professional fees, disbursements, and taxes for a direct cremation. This commitment to transparency is our way of providing peace of mind during a time of great vulnerability.

Our package is structured to be comprehensive, ensuring every essential service is covered. The itemized list of what you receive clearly outlines the value and simplicity of this choice. It includes professional and staff services, documentation, minimum preparation of remains, and the use of our facilities for preparation and shelter. Our team also handles both the initial transfer of remains from the place of death to our holding facility and the final transfer to the crematorium. The package even includes the cremation fee at North Toronto Crematorium, a significant component that is often a separate cost with other providers. For the deceased, the package provides a cardboard cremation container and a temporary cardboard container for the cremated remains at no extra charge, which is a key part of our all-inclusive approach.

Beyond our direct services and merchandise, there are several mandatory, third-party fees that must be paid to various authorities. These are known as disbursements, and they are also included in our package to make the process as seamless as possible. The Sensible Choice Online Cremation Package includes the Coroner’s Cremation Certificate fee, the Municipal Death Registration Fee, and the Bereavement Authority of Ontario (BAO) Consumer Protection Fee. By handling all of these on your behalf, we remove the burden of coordinating with multiple agencies during an already overwhelming time.

The entire Sensible Choice process is designed for modern convenience without sacrificing dignity or personal support. It can be managed entirely online, from the comfort and privacy of your own home. By using email and digital signatures, we streamline the documentation process, which not only makes it easier for you but also helps us reduce our overhead, allowing us to pass those savings directly on to you. This online-first approach is an ideal solution for families in Aurora and surrounding areas who appreciate the ability to handle important details efficiently without the need for multiple in-person appointments.

While the process is digital, you are never alone. We know that navigating final arrangements can bring up many questions and emotions, which is why a compassionate funeral director is available 24/7 to provide guidance, answer your questions, and offer the support you need, whenever you need it. Our goal is to provide a reassuring presence every step of the way, even when we are not physically in the same room.

While our package is designed to be all-inclusive and cover everything required for a simple direct cremation, it’s important to understand that additional, optional fees may apply if you choose to add services beyond our core offering. For example, optional fees are charged for after-hours transfers, pacemaker removal (which is required prior to cremation), or if you need us to deliver the cremated remains to your home. We are always upfront about these potential additions and will discuss any extra services with you so you can make an informed choice. Our General Price List provides a full breakdown of these options.

The Sensible Choice Online Cremation Package is an intentional option designed for families who prioritize a simple, dignified, and affordable farewell. For families in Aurora who are looking for a straightforward process, our online platform provides a clear and compassionate alternative to traditional funeral services. It eliminates the complexities and costs often associated with funeral planning, allowing you to focus on grieving and remembering your loved one. We believe that a respectful and meaningful service doesn't have to come with a prohibitive price tag.

We have also seen a growing number of people choosing to pre-plan their own arrangements. When you begin the online arrangement process today, we guarantee the current package price for six months, locking in this affordable rate and easing the burden on your loved ones in the future. Navigating this journey is never easy, but you don't have to do it alone. If you have questions or simply need guidance, we are here to help.
