How much does the average burial, columbarium niche or the average cremation cost?
There are several available options and decisions to make regarding burial and/or cremation arrangements with varying costs. Every family is different and has unique needs and requests. For these reasons, it is difficult to adequately quote an ‘average’ cost for our services.
View pricing information. Every family can be assured that we will provide clear, detailed fees for any services discussed and/or selected. Pricing discussions are provided with no obligation and in a no pressure environment.
Does the City of Edmonton Cemeteries offer pre-arrangements?
