The Memorial Society of BC is like a co-op that helps to keep funeral costs reasonable. With Memorial Society membership, you can get cremation services for under $1,300. Some people fall into the trap of paying 10X this amount. Lifetime membership costs $50. If you join, tell your family - and the funeral home you eventually choose, that you are a member of the Memorial Society. It will probably be the smartest $50 you ever spend. https://memorialsocietybc.org/membership/
