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.

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

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.
