Co-Operative Funeral Homes

Green or eco-friendly funerals: Co-Operative Funeral Homes may offer green or eco-friendly funeral services that are designed to be environmentally sustainable. Biodegradable caskets or urns, avoiding embalming chemicals, and using natural burial practices.

Plan the service: Work with the Co-Operative Funeral Homes to plan the funeral service, including selecting readings, music, and speakers. Consider any special requests or traditions that the deceased may have wanted.

DNA preservation: Check with Co-Operative Funeral Homes about collecting and preserving a small sample of a deceased individual's DNA. This can be used for a range of purposes, including genealogy research, paternity testing, and forensic identification.

Transportation: Arrange for the transportation of the body to the funeral home, Sudbury, Ontario cemetery, or other final resting place.

Memorial jewelry: Some funeral homes offer memorial jewelry that incorporates a small amount of a loved one's ashes or other mementos into a piece of jewelry that can be worn or kept as a keepsake.

Customized caskets or urns: Customized caskets or urns that reflect the interests or personality of the deceased may be a service Co-Operative Funeral Homes offers. For example, a casket might be painted with a sports team logo, or an urn might be shaped like a musical instrument.
