Pre-Planning

Why Pre-Plan?

You can choose from a number of affordable funeral arrangements now, without emotional pressures or time constraints.

Many people feel uncomfortable just thinking about funerals, let alone calling up a funeral director and making pre-arrangements for themselves or a loved one. At Tranquility, we understand. Pre-planning your cremation gives you and your family peace of mind, in so many ways.

There are no hidden costs – unlike some funeral service establishments, Tranquility always presents all prices up front, covering everything from the simplest to the most elaborate options.

The Benefits of Pre-Planning

Your wishes are clearly documented

Your arrangements reflect your values and beliefs

Your family has fewer difficult decisions to make during a time of grief

Important personal information is gathered in advance

Your family knows whom to contact and what steps to take

You can review or update your wishes if your circumstances change

Talk with Your Family

The arrangements you choose can have a meaningful impact on your family and how they experience a difficult time. Talking with your loved ones in advance can help ensure your wishes are understood while also considering what may bring them comfort.

Pre-planning gives you the time and space to explore your options, make thoughtful decisions and record your wishes without pressure. An experienced funeral director can explain the practical and financial considerations of each choice, answer your questions and help you create arrangements that feel right for you and your family.

Get organized

Meet with a member of the highly educated and experienced Tranquility team at your home or at our office. They are trained to help you evaluate all the options available. They can help you develop a plan that makes sense for you and your family, and takes care of every detail today so they won’t have to worry about them in the future.

Pre-Paying for the Arrangements

Tranquility offers flexible payment options that allow you to pay for your arrangements over a period of up to five years. The prices of the services and supplies included in your prepaid plan are locked in and guaranteed, protecting your family from future price increases on those items.

Prepaying can also reduce the financial and emotional pressure on your family. With your wishes documented and your arrangements paid for in advance, your loved ones can focus on supporting one another rather than making financial decisions during a difficult time.

The money you pay toward your prepaid arrangements is securely held in trust until the services are required.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pre-Planning a Funeral in Ontario

What is preplanning vs prepaying?

Pre-planning allows you to record your personal information and funeral wishes with us in advance. We create a secure file so your family and our team have clear guidance when the time comes. There is no cost or obligation to pre-plan.

Pre-paying takes the next step by allowing you to pay in advance for the arrangements. Your funds are placed securely in trust, and once the arrangement is paid in full, the prices of the included services are guaranteed. Flexible payment options are available for up to five years.

You can pre-plan without pre-paying, or choose to pre-pay whenever the time feels right for you.

Is it worth pre-paying your funeral in Ontario?

Pre-paying can be worthwhile if you want to protect your family from both rising funeral costs and an unexpected expense in the future. Once your arrangement is paid in full, the prices of the included services are guaranteed—even if those services cost more by the time they are needed.

It also allows you to manage the expense on your own terms, either by paying in full or through flexible payments over a period of up to five years. The money is placed in trust until the arrangements are needed.

For many people, the greatest benefit is knowing their family will not have to find the money, compare costs or make financial decisions during an already difficult time.

What happens to a prepaid arrangement if the provider closes?

If we were ever to close, you would be notified and given the choice to transfer your prepaid funds to another licensed funeral establishment or have the funds returned to you. Because your money is held securely in trust, it remains protected

How much does prepaying cost in Ontario?

The amount will depend on the arrangements you choose, but there is no
additional fee for pre-planning or pre-paying. We use our current prices to prepare a detailed, itemized quote for you to review before you make any decisions. There is no charge or obligation to meet with us and discuss your options.

Can I pre-pay for someone else?

Yes. You can pre-plan and pre-pay for a spouse, parent or another loved one. The arrangements will be recorded in their name, while you can take care of the paperwork and payment. Everyone involved should understand and agree with the wishes being documented whenever possible.

What if I cannot or do not want to come to the office?

You do not need to visit one of our offices to pre-plan or pre-pay. We can complete the arrangements with you by email or arrange to meet with you at your residence. Whichever option you choose, we will guide you through the process, answer your questions and give you time to review everything before proceeding.
