Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services

Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services At Alternatives®, we are proud to provide you with a different approach to funeral and cremation se

Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services began in Western Canada in 1992 as Personal Alternative Funeral Services, with the goal of providing consumers with a comfortable, affordable and common-sense alternative to the escalating costs found in many funeral homes. Clearly our approach was welcomed as we have become the largest independently owned funeral home in Western Canada. From the one location in Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, the company has grown to serve over 1,200 families every year. From the inception, our business model of going to the family in their own home to make final arrangements has become very successful. Other funeral providers discovered our system, resulting in the establishment of Partner Locations in various cities including, Vernon, Armstrong, and Trail in British Columbia, in Calgary and Red Deer in Alberta. And we are pleased to welcome the latest Partner Location in Regina, Saskatchewan. Our mission is to deliver superior value, both financially and emotionally. And while our name has changed, the same strong ownership and management structure remains in place.

Originally from Puerto Vallarta and proud to call Vancouver home since 1997, Hipólito Reyes found his calling in 2021 after being guided with compassion by the team at Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services during the loss of his mother. Today, he is dedicated to supporting families—especially within the Latin community—by offering funeral and pre-planning services entirely in Spanish, honoring cultural traditions, and assisting with international repatriation across Central and South America. With compassion, transparency, and respect, he is here to ensure that no family walks this journey alone.

Annika is a dedicated funeral service professional who found her calling unexpectedly while working toward medical school. With a background in psychology and kinesiology, she brings a unique, compassionate perspective to supporting families during their most challenging moments. Though her path to funeral service was unplanned, she is deeply fulfilled by the opportunity to provide comfort and care to those in need. Outside of work, Annika enjoys baking, crocheting, and hitting the open road on her motorcycle. Her diverse interests and empathetic nature reflect her commitment to serving others, both in her professional and personal life.

Annika joined Alternatives in 2021.

Christmas is a time for love, remembrance, and gentle moments.

For some, today is filled with laughter and family gatherings.
For others, it may be quieter — carrying memories of someone dearly missed.

Wherever this Christmas finds you, please know that you are not alone.
At Alternatives, we are honoured to support families with care, compassion, and integrity —
— not just during the holidays, but whenever you need us most.

From our entire team,
🌲Merry Christmas. May peace and comfort be with you today and always.

🌾 Happy Thanksgiving from Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services 🦃

As families gather across our community this Thanksgiving, we take a moment to give thanks - for the trust you've placed in us, for the lives and legacies we've been honoured to serve, and for the strength that comes from caring for one another.

In a world that moves quickly, we're reminded that gratitude slows us down just enough to see the beauty in each day, and the blessings found in every connection.

From all of us at Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services, Happy Thanksgiving - may your home be filled with peace, warmth, and love. 💛
