  • What Cremation Means for Families Today

    Choosing cremation is often the beginning of a healing process. It can be a practical decision, but it’s never impersonal. Many families in Kamloops choose cremation for its simplicity, flexibility, and gentler environmental footprint. The process provides families the time and freedom to plan a celebration of life on their own schedule, without the pressure of rushing into a service immediately after a passing.

    At Cypress Funeral & Cremation Services, we approach each cremation as a sacred responsibility. We don’t treat cremation as just a procedure—it’s part of the legacy of your loved one. That’s why we guide families through the process with careful attention, ensuring you are fully informed and supported along the way.

    Our Cremation Process: Handled With Dignity and Precision

    When a loved one is placed in our care, the process begins with a clear commitment to professionalism and compassion. Our state-of-the-art crematorium—privately owned and operated—ensures that your loved one remains in our care throughout the entire process. This control over every aspect of the cremation allows us to provide the highest level of security, attention, and peace of mind.

    Each cremation begins with identification procedures, followed by the removal of personal effects. We then prepare the appropriate paperwork, including permits and authorizations, in compliance with provincial regulations. During this time, we’ll guide you through selecting a cremation container and choosing a memorial option—whether it’s a classic urn, an elegant keepsake, or a piece of memorial jewelry.

  • Honouring Your Loved One: Memorial Options with Meaning

    Memorializing a loved one doesn’t look the same for every family. For some, an intimate scattering ceremony in nature is the perfect tribute. For others, having a physical place to visit—like a columbarium niche or a personalized urn at home—provides ongoing comfort.

    At Cypress Funeral & Cremation Services, we offer a range of ways to honour the memory of your loved one:

    • Urns: Available in many styles, from simple to ornate, to reflect your loved one’s personality
    • Keepsake Jewelry: A beautiful and intimate way to carry a small portion of remains or a lock of hair
    • Columbarium Placement: A permanent resting place that can be visited by family and friends
    • Scattering Options: Guidance on legal and meaningful scattering locations

    These choices allow families to create a personal, lasting tribute that aligns with cultural values, religious beliefs, or personal preferences.

    Personalized Support from Start to Finish

    There’s nothing routine about what we do. Every call we receive, every family we meet, and every service we arrange is approached with deep respect and genuine care. From the initial conversation to the return of your loved one’s remains, our team remains focused on offering support that is both professional and deeply personal.

    Our experienced team will handle all the logistical details, including legal paperwork, coordination with health authorities, and the careful scheduling of services. But beyond logistics, we’re here to answer questions, help you navigate emotional decisions, and walk beside you through a very vulnerable time.

    Whether you’re exploring options in advance or responding to a recent loss, you’ll never feel rushed or alone in the process.

  • FAQ: Answering Your Questions About Cremation

    How long does the cremation process take?

    The cremation itself typically takes two to three hours. However, additional time is needed for preparation, paperwork, and cooling. Families usually receive the ashes within 7–10 business days after arrangements are completed.

    Can we still have a service if we choose cremation?

    Absolutely. Many families choose to hold a memorial or celebration of life after the cremation takes place. This allows for greater flexibility in planning and can be scheduled at a time that works for friends and family.

    What happens to personal belongings during cremation?

    Before the cremation begins, our team carefully removes personal belongings such as jewelry or keepsakes and returns them to the family upon request. Items not permitted during cremation are removed during the preparation process.

    Are there eco-friendly options for cremation?

    Yes. Our state-of-the-art crematorium is equipped with modern and environmentally conscious technology designed to minimize emissions. In addition, we offer biodegradable urns and can assist with natural scattering ceremonies.

    Is it possible to divide the ashes among family members?

    Yes. Many families choose to share the ashes among siblings or close relatives using keepsake urns or memorial jewelry. We offer a variety of respectful and beautiful options for dividing and preserving the ashes.

    Do you offer pre-planning for cremation services?

    Yes, we do. Pre-planning allows you to make informed decisions in advance and ease the emotional and financial burden on your family later. Our team is happy to walk you through the steps and ensure your wishes are clearly documented.
