Lock in your funeral costs at today's prices!
Today, it's never been easier to plan ahead! Did you know that most funeral establishments will lock in your funeral costs at today's prices using a plan purchased through Canada Purple Shield as payment? Canada Purple Shield is the gold standard for offering funeral funding options in Canada...use us to beat inflation!
How much does the average funeral cost? Everyone has different requirements and desires, but we have put together an average price list* based on current costs in Canada. You determine what you want to plan for, and you put a Final Expense Plan in place valued at your chosen dollar amount.
