  • What to Do When a Loved One Passes

    After a passing, many families in Vernon are unsure of the practical steps that need to follow. It’s not just about paperwork—it’s about making sure every necessary responsibility is addressed with respect and order. That’s where we come in.

    Our Family Assistance Guide walks you through:

    • Document Collection: From birth certificates and wills to insurance policies and tax returns.

    Though the loss of a loved one may be unexpected, many families find peace in knowing that future arrangements can be made in advance. Cypress proudly offers pre-planning services designed to give individuals and families a sense of control, comfort, and assurance.

    Pre-planning:

    • Reduces financial and emotional pressure on your loved ones.
    • Allows you to document your wishes clearly and thoughtfully.
    • Locks in today’s prices, protecting your family from future cost increases.
    • Makes funds immediately available when they’re needed most.

And with flexible payment plans and portable arrangements across Canada, Cypress makes planning both accessible and meaningful.
