Classic Cremation Has Evolved to KORU

Just over two years ago I opened the doors of my locally owned and operated, grass-roots funeral business, Classic Cremation & Funeral Services.

Your Choices

We encourage you to explore your hopes, your fears and your past experiences with death and funerals. We support you to be as actively involved as you wish to be. It’s our job to tailor our services to fit your needs and desires, not the other way around. We can take care of everything, we can coach you in your version of a DIY funeral and we can custom-create a hybrid version where we work together in a way that fits your needs and desires. We’re here to help.

Cremation

Cremation is the “disposition of choice” for laying our dead to rest in the Metro Vancouver area.

Burial

There is a renewed interest in burial as “final disposition” particularly green or natural burial.

Ceremony

Thoughtful ceremonies create connection and meaning and support you to be with the reality of death.
