The Memorial Society of BC is like a not-for-profit co-op that helps to keep funeral costs reasonable. With Memorial Society membership, you can get full service cremation for under $1,300. Some people fall into the trap of paying 10X this amount. Lifetime membership costs $50. There is nothing in this for me - except, I’ll be glad if you are not taken unfair advantage of, in your time of need. 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 most cost-effective $50 you ever spend. https://memorialsocietybc.org/membership/
