Traditional funerals often cost $10,000 – $15,000 or more.
​Our basic cremation package provides a dignified alternative at a fraction of the cost.

Everything you need for a simple, dignified cremation.

Mandatory third-party fees of $165.00 are included

Why is cremation more affordable than traditional burial?

​Direct cremation focuses only on what is essential. It does not include embalming, viewing, or a casket, which are the main cost drivers in traditional funerals.

This allows families to choose a simple, dignified option at a significantly lower cost.

I am deeply grateful for the exceptional care and support provided by Ridley Funeral Home during one of the most difficult times our family has ever faced.

I can not say enough positive things about our experience with the passing of my dad. From the moment we called, to the aftercare, everyone and everything went so smoothly and easily.

Stacey Fernley-Power (nee Inglis)

Verified Customer

This is a truly exceptional company. After speaking with several funeral homes I chose to work with Ridley not only because of the reasonable cost of services, but because of the clarity of their communications, and the sincere but not overbearing sympathy they conveyed.
