Finance

Canada Purple Shield has been helping families with financing funerals for over fifty years. We fund 90% of Canadian Funeral Preplans. Funds are guaranteed, gain tax free interest, are protected from nursing homes and taxes, and are paid right at the time of the funeral with no delay, relieving stress and the burden of payment from family.

Funds are placed in your Eligible Funeral Arrangement Account. This is a tax-free account for funeral arrangement funds put in place by Canada Revenue Agency. See the link below:

Testimonials

My mom got sick shortly after she took out her Purple Shield plan. When she passed away the full amount of her plan was there to help pay for her funeral even though she’d only made a few monthly payments. Thanks

My Mom had a Canada Purple Shield Plan. It made it so much easier on us. The money was there and we knew what she wanted.

Plan Ahead

Funeral preplanning is two steps.

Deciding what your wishes are for end of life care

Creating a Purple Shield Policy with funds to pay for your wishes.

Cremations

A “cremation container” or “cremation casket” is required in Canada. This is not optional everyone MUST have one.
Cremation caskets range from simple wood boxes to full traditional caskets.
Crematoriums are expensive to operate so your funeral home/local crematorium will require you to purchase the cremation casket through the funeral home. They do this so they can be confident of the quality and safety of the materials being used.

Burials

There are two options currently available in most of Canada. Traditional earth burial or cremation

Urn

Urns must be large enough. Plan on 200 cubic inches or 14 cups of space. A good visual would be about the size of a 4L of soda.
