When you choose cremation, you might be surprised to discover how many burial and memorial options there are. Although you have the option to keep an urn at home, we’ve discovered that many families want a permanent place to go remember their loved ones. A permanent memorial can be a touchstone to all who follow. Cremation burial options range from in-ground burials in a family plot or small plots in a cremation garden to aboveground options like columbarium niches.

Ocean View Funeral Home has provided funeral services to Burnaby families since 1988, but Ocean View Burial Park has been around since 1919. Burnaby's landmark Ocean View Burial Park was British Columbia's first non-sectarian cemetery created as a for-profit business enterprise. The cemetery's design was the vision of Albert F. Arnold, who was an officer of the Canadian Trust Company. Mr. Arnold remarked he was "always depressed by the lack of beauty in so many places of inte...rnment and inevitable neglect that finally reduced them to long-grassed places of unhappy memories.

Grief on top of grief. That’s how families describe the pain caused by experiencing loss during COVID-19 stay-at-home orders. Maybe you can relate to a deepened sense of sadness from being unable to honour your loved one the way you wanted. Maybe it felt like you were letting him or her down when you weren’t able to hold a visitation or gather more than a few of your friends and family. A drive-through service, however well-designed and filled with air kisses and hand hearts, simply didn’t seem the same. A small, socially distanced graveside service may have left you feeling incomplete. The good news is that you can still have a service with nearly every element of a traditional ceremony.
