On both occasions my parents were treated with care & respect. We elected to have them cremated (parents wish). From day one the planning for the event was done professionally. Tim addressed all our concerns and some we didn't even think of. All the proper notifications were done timely. On both occasions the remains were returned to us within the week. They handled the disposition of the cremains as instructed. As far as cost I'd challenge anyone who can beat/match the prices they charge. It is Affordable and caring.

I called Western Cremation and spoke to Adrien. He was so knowledgeable. He walked me through the process. His empathy, professionalism and calm demeanor was a godsend! Western took care of everything: the transport of my sister, her cremation, the delivery of the ashes to her family, dealing with the coroner, the necessary reporting to the government and the ordering of the death certificates. The loss of a loved one is never painless, but Western was there for us during a very trying and tragic time, easing the loss. We appreciate all the they did and we recommend them wholeheartedly.

What a great discovery this family run business turned out to be…read more Living on Vancouver Island, I was faced with the chore of shopping for a cremation marker for the Sunshine Coast. Buying one on the coast, sight unseen, from a long time but unknown to me, funeral home just seemed odd. Their website offered a limited selection and no pricing. I had to call for a price and even then wasn't sure what I would get. I decided to look in the south island area and came across West Coast Monuments. Their website had a wide selection and the best part; prices. I fired off an email with a couple of questions and had a reply in 4 minutes which started a month long relationship with Tim and Kaitlyn that was, well, amazing isn't a word I like, but it works here. The mix of modern technology, professionalism and old school customer service is just so refreshing and rare. They spent so much time with me, discussing options and developing my personal ideas and images, I could not have asked for more. In the end, I got to see the finished product, the price was $200 less than the coast funeral home and they deliver. A first class operation that I can easily recommend; even to folks on the mainland. Knowing how they work, I would not be concerned with ordering at a distance
