Helping You Navigate Grief with Care, Resources, and Community

Losing someone you love is never easy. The weight of grief, the pressure of arrangements, and the emotional toll of handling legal and personal matters can feel overwhelming. At Cypress Funeral & Cremation Services, we are here to offer compassionate support & guidance after a loss in Kamloops, because no one should have to go through this journey alone.

Our team is committed to being present for families during one of the most difficult times in their lives. We offer more than just funeral arrangements—we offer a shoulder to lean on, resources to help you manage the responsibilities that follow a passing, and a community that understands. Whether you need assistance with documents, want to pre-plan for peace of mind, or simply aren’t sure what comes next, our Kamloops location is here to guide you through every step.

  • Gentle Guidance During Life’s Hardest Moments

    When someone passes, the next steps can feel like a blur. There’s often a long list of practical tasks that must be completed, even while you’re still trying to process your loss. That’s where our Family Assistance Guide becomes an essential tool. Designed to support families in Kamloops and beyond, this guide outlines everything you need to know and do after a loved one has passed.

    From obtaining essential documents to notifying the right organizations, we break it all down into manageable steps. You’ll find clear information on how to handle things like joint bank accounts, life insurance policies, Veterans Affairs, and more. Our hope is to take the guesswork out of the process so you can focus on healing.

  • What to Expect from Our Family Assistance Guide

    One of the most important parts of healing is feeling informed and prepared. Our Family Assistance Guide, download it here, is more than a list—it’s a caring companion during a time of uncertainty.

    We walk you through:

    • What documents to gather (e.g., wills, insurance policies, tax returns)
    • Who to notify (Service Canada, ICBC, insurance providers, Veterans Affairs, etc.)
    • How to handle personal identification, vehicle ownership, and benefits
    • Where to get legal help for estate matters and probate

    We’ve also included crucial phone numbers and addresses to make contacting these organizations easier. Whether your loved one had a pension, was a Veteran, or held specific memberships, our guide ensures you won’t miss any details that might impact your family.

  • Lightening the Load with Pre-Planning Options

    While we’re always here to support you after a loss, we also know how much peace of mind can come from planning ahead. Our Pre-Planning Brochure, download it here, outlines thoughtful, flexible options that allow individuals and families to make arrangements in advance—on their own terms and timeline.

    Pre-planning gives you the opportunity to document your wishes clearly, manage financial obligations early, and take unnecessary pressure off your loved ones in the future. We offer a range of payment options—monthly or one-time—so you can choose what works best for you. And with all funds securely held through Assurant Life of Canada, your plan remains protected and portable, even if your circumstances change.

    It’s never too early to begin thinking about how you want to be remembered.

  • More Than Arrangements—We’re Here to Help You Heal

    We understand that grief doesn’t follow a schedule. That’s why our role goes far beyond making funeral arrangements. Our team in Kamloops offers compassionate support & guidance after a loss in Kamloops by giving you access to emotional and practical resources that help you find your footing again.

    Many families have questions about what comes next—how to process the emotions, how to help children through the loss, or even how to take care of themselves in the aftermath. We’re always here to talk, to listen, and to connect you with the right local or provincial resources for additional care and comfort.

    Tools That Help You Feel in Control

  • Frequently Asked Questions

    What steps should I take immediately after a loved one passes away?

    The first steps often involve notifying close family and healthcare providers. From there, it’s important to gather essential documents like a will, insurance policies, and ID cards. Our Family Assistance Guide helps walk you through the next steps, such as contacting Service Canada, financial institutions, and legal support services.

    Do I have to handle all the paperwork myself?

    No. While some paperwork will need your input, our team is available to assist with organizing the necessary documents, providing templates, and answering questions along the way. Many families find comfort in having guidance through the legal and logistical responsibilities after a loss.

    How can Cypress help with Veterans or pension-related benefits?

    We provide direct contact information and guidance on how to work with organizations like Veterans Affairs, Service Canada, and WorkSafeBC. If your loved one was receiving a pension or disability support, we’ll help you understand what benefits are still available and how to claim them.

    Can you help me plan my own funeral in advance?

    Absolutely. Our pre-planning options are completely customizable, and we walk you through each step, from choosing service preferences to setting up payment plans. Many families choose to pre-plan to make things easier for their loved ones later on.

    Are there flexible payment plans available for pre-planning?

    Yes, we offer monthly installment plans ranging from 1 to 20 years, or you can make a one-time payment. There are no interest or financing fees, and our plans are backed by Assurant Life of Canada for added peace of mind.

    What other support services do you offer besides funeral arrangements?

    In addition to funeral planning, we offer grief resources, executor assistance, travel protection, and comprehensive planning guides. Our support extends well beyond the ceremony because we know healing takes time and continued care.
