Our Funeral Home's History

In 1995 we recognized that families needed an option for a more streamlined funeral provider with a focus on immediate cremation and burial. Since then Steve Hosking , a graduate of the Western School of Funeral Service, and his dedicated team at Affordable Cremation & Burial have been serving families in the Lower Mainland for over 20 years. Our two locations have been entrusted by the  Memorial Society of BC   to serve their Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island members.

In 2023 we merged with a locally owned Funeral Home in Vancouver called Kearneys Funeral Service to expand our service area. In 2024 Earth Options Funeral Home joined our team to help us serve our Traditional Burial and Green Burial families. www.earthsoptions.com

We strive to offer inexpensive options , including one of the lowest simple cremation price on the Island, and great value such as providing complimentary online memorial pages.  We  are proud to be an independent funeral service provider who will never try to up-sell or pressure families. It was our desire to serve our families from beginning to end by establishing our own crematorium, that led us to open our  Vancouver Island location.
