Resources
in Canada
Post-Death Page
As
pan-death alternatives are a very new development
in Canada, we have only listed those which we
are aware of. We
hope to be able to eventually provide links to
specific information for each of the provinces
and territories. If
you are aware of an alternative death-care service
or supply being offered in your area, please let
us know; contact
us by email. Information
on the actual pan-death process (what/when/where/how)
is covered under the Post-death
Care/Home Funerals page.
One
of CINDEA's mandates is to bridge the gap
between pre-death and post-death services
services that are rarely directly connected. We
recognize that we are reinforcing that gap by
offering pre-death and post-death resources on
separate pages of this site. However,
it was necessary to avoid the Resources in Canada
pages from becoming too long. We
hope that you will consider both the pre-death
and post-death pages when looking for resources
to plan your end-of-life affairs. Alternative
death-care providers are listed in the brighter
blue text.

contact
us if you wish to go through the recognition

CINDEA also has a 'training
options' PDF
including
programs (or singular courses)
in Canada (usually 'in person'),
and online (but not necessarily
Canadian) that are accessible for Canadians
interested in the alternative death-care field. CINDEA
can provide the Canadian component
(ex. Canadian laws/regulations) and support
for Canadians taking any non-Canadian online training
program.

Post-Death Care and Home Funeral Guides

home after death, or returning it there from a
hospital, hospice or long-term care facility
(which is legal in most provinces); washing/dressing/etc.
the body; and having viewings/wakes/vigils at
home, as an option to using a funeral home

[Note 1: we
have included links for Consumer Protection Services
and the office of the Coroner or Chief Medical
Examiner, because they may be the best source
of information for choosing to do post-death care
yourself
including whether or not a permit is required
to transport your deceased loved one.]
[Note 2: if you choose to deal with
post-death care at home, including all documents/forms
given that our culture is used to having a funeral
home formally deal with things, such as Registration
of Death
you will need to clarify to your Vital Statistics
office that you are not using one and ask for
the forms that the funeral home would usually
address. Ask for a supervisor at the
Vital Statistics office, or someone who knows
the law regarding not using the assistance of
a funeral home.]

Natural/Green
Burials
burials that don't include embalming the body,
any non-biodegradable parts to the coffin, cement
grave liners, etc. The
body is allowed to return to the cycle of life,
and the graves are usually maintained as a reclaimed
indigenous eco-system. [Note:
a full body burial at sea is also a 'green' burial,
but logistically prohibitive and expensive in
Canada. See 'Burial at Sea' below.]

On-line
Memorial Services
Note that many newspapers now offer
on-line memorial services if an obituary is placed
in their paper, although you may need to specifically
ask for it. Some
Funeral Homes may also provide this service.
On-line Memorial Services make it possible for
family members and friends
especially those who lived
at a distance, and/or were otherwise unable to
attend the funeral/memorial
to share their memories,
and celebrate the life, of the person who has
died. Those
listed below are only a sampling of those available
free of charge. Others
are easily Googled; and for a small charge, offer
a more extensive website tribute, the ability
for family and friends to add tributes, and/or
