Funeral co-operatives are not a new idea. One of the oldest funeral co-ops in Canada was founded in Sudbury, Ontario in 1952.
Funeral co-operatives are very well established in Quebec and Prince Edward Island. La coopérative funéraire de l'Outaouais (CFO) was established in 1979 and has 12,500 members.
Here are links to funeral co-operatives and other funeral information services in Canada.
Memorial Societies:
Memorial societies are excellent sources of up-to-date information about funeral costs, customs and laws in your community. Their knowledge about funeral pre-planning and planning at time of need is readily available to members at any time.
