Seminar Announcement:
The funeral home is hosting a free seminar on DIY (Do-It-Yourself) funerals on Sunday, August 9, 2026, at 2:00 p.m.. Registration is not required; attendees can simply turn up.
1 Purpose: The seminar aims to empower and advise families on how they can handle parts or all of a funeral themselves, or pick and choose which aspects to take on.
2 Support Offered: Andrew emphasizes that families do not have to handle the process completely alone, as DIY funerals can become emotionally and practically challenging.
The funeral home can provide everything, nothing, or just advice along the way.
3 Cost and Caskets: While DIY steps can save money, some tasks (like building a casket without carpentry skills) can be difficult and costly. The funeral home also offers fully prepared, eco-friendly pine ply or pine wood caskets for $799 including GST, which families can choose to buy and then decorate themselves.
Remote Access & Resources: The seminar will be recorded, and those who want to watch it online can contact the funeral home for notes or video footage.
Additional videos and information on DIY funerals are available on the company’s blog.
