1. Do I need to have a Service?
A “burial service” is not required, but recommended as an opportunity for family and friends to gather and pay their final respects and share memories.
2. Do I need to buy a casket?
Yes, a casket is required. We have a wide variety of caskets available in different styles, finishes, and price ranges.
3. Can more than one body be buried together?
Caskets are designed to only hold one person. Some cemeteries will allow you to purchase a companion plot for either side-by-side burial plots or a double depth plot to have the caskets stacked on top of one another. Please consult with the cemetery before making any decisions.
1. Do I need to have a Service?
A “cremation service” is not required, but recommended as an opportunity for family and friends to gather and pay their final respects and share memories.
2. Do I need to buy a casket for the cremation?
No, a casket is not required. At Cardinal, a minimum container made of particle board is required, and if a cremation service is selected, there may be more suitable containers and caskets available in different styles, finishes, and price ranges.
3. Do I need to buy an urn?
No, typically the cremated remains are returned in a cardboard or plastic container. If you wish to see other urn options, there are many different styles, colours, and price ranges to select a more personalized urn.
4. Can I scatter the cremated remains?
Yes, you may scatter the cremated remains within a cemetery scattering garden. Keep in mind that many communities may have restrictions regarding the scattering of cremated remains. Please refer to your local community website for instructions and guidance or you may contact the Bereavement Authority of Ontario with questions via email at info@thebao.ca
5. Can more than one body be cremated together?
No, each retort or cremation furnace can accommodate only one body.
6. Can I rent a casket?
Yes, renting a casket for a service is becoming increasingly popular for many families.
7. Does Cardinal offer a cardboard container which is cheaper?
Cardinal’s does not offer a cardboard container option due to our own personal standards of dignity and due to the challenges associated with moving a human body with many size variations, we have found that cardboard construction is not always suitable during the transfer of the body. We feel that our rigid plywood container offers a significantly higher level of sturdiness and security, including the ability to securely fasten the top of the container with screws.
Each and every member of our team will treat you and your family with the
compassion, dignity, and respect you deserve at this very difficult time.
While in “our care”, your loved one will be handled with the utmost dignity and respect at all times.
We work with all religions and faiths, helping to create the personalized services you desire.
The price you pay for our services and products will be clear and transparent,
and should you have questions, we will do our best to answer them effectively.
Burial is the process of interring the body into the ground using a wood or metal casket. In some municipalities,
the option of above ground burial in a mausoleum is available. As part of burial process, the body may or may not be
embalmed. For ground burial, a protective outer container or casket vault may be required by the cemetery to provide stability for the grave.
An example of what most cemeteries look like
Cremation is the process of exposing the body to intense heat within a retort, reducing the body to bone fragments.
The bone fragments are further processed into fine particles of ash for placement in an urn.
The urn is then returned to the family for their preferred choice of final disposition.
