We are a volunteer run funeral
consumers' planning information service, founded in
1979, funded by a one-time individual lifetime
membership fee of $25 paid at the time of joining
and the ongoing generosity of our members in making
annual supporting donations. We have no paid
employees and there are no Board benefits. We
presently serve some 2400 members in the area from
Oshawa to Belleville and north to the Haliburton
Highlands through 12 contracted funeral providers
at 13 locations.
Memorial Societies are
non-sectarian, non-profit organizations run by
member elected boards. By actively encouraging the
preplanning of, and wise and informed decision
making about funerals including consideration of
the lower cost options, we help to reduce the
financial and psychological stress on
survivors.
We are one of 11 Memorial
Societies in Ontario presently serving over 51,000
Ontario residents.
We DO NOT own, operate
or have a financial interest in any funeral home,
transfer service, cemetery, crematorium or monument
company.
