My grandfather always loved his special spot by the lake.  He had many happy memories of fishing and spending time with his family there.  In fact, one of his last wishes was that his ashes be scattered on the shore of the lake.  But when the time came for us to scatter the ashes we all had the same question -this is a public place, are we allowed to scatter ashes here?

Dealing with the death of a loved one can be very difficult emotionally.  Amid the grief, family members may also have to deal with making choices around issues such as funeral or memorial services.  With this in mind, some people prefer to make their own arrangements ahead of time.

The Cemetery and Funeral Services Industry includes cemetery, cremation, and funeral services.  Consumer Protection BC is responsible for enforcing the law in BC around this industry.  That includes licensing funeral homes, funeral directors, cemeteries, crematoria and embalmers.
