Simple Wishes of the North is locally owned and operated, serving Greater Sudbury and beyond. We are pleased to offer our services in French and English.
We serve all faiths and those with no religious affiliation. Our professional staff members are available to take your call day or night. Remember, you are not alone.
With the significant rise in the cremation rates over the last decade or so and with many families now preferring affordable and alternative options to traditional funerals, Simple Wishes of the North was created with that in mind.
Since we chose to operate from a smaller facility and require fewer staff members than traditional full-service funeral homes, our overhead costs are at a lower cost, allowing us to offer our services and merchandise at a competitive price.
Whether you need help today or want to plan for tomorrow, you can count on us anytime.
Our Services
It doesn't matter how you honor them, just that you do.
When planning a service, you have many options available to you and we will do all that we can to provide a beautiful and respectful ceremony. No matter your choice, we can offer you a space to join with family and friends in grief, comfort and love. And above all, we will do our utmost to honor your loved one. We will be happy to go over all your options and answer any questions that you may have.
Funeral Services
A funeral service is an important time for family and friends to comfort one another, begin to find healing, and celebrate a life well-lived. Whether you choose burial or cremation, you can hold a funeral service to honour your loved one. We are happy to provide a traditional funeral, Celebration of Life, or something wholly unique and straightforward. Many cultures and religions have unique traditions, and we will do our best to accommodate your requests. This is a moment for you and your family, and we are honoured to help you in any way that we can.
Memorial Services
Just like a funeral service, a memorial service is a time to remember your loved one. This can be held shortly after death or weeks later, with or without an urn present. What's important is that it creates a time and a place for family and friends to gather together, support one another, share memories, and pay their respects. We can hold a memorial service at our facility, the final resting place, or at your home.
Burial
A casket burial is a traditional service, and there are many options you can choose from. We can provide an immediate burial without a public service; a visitation, viewing, or wake with a closed or open casket; a funeral service at our facility, church, or private home, and a graveside service at a cemetery. You can choose whether you'd like a public or private service or a combination. It is entirely up to you how you wish to pay your respects.
Cremation
Cremation has become a popular option for many people because it can be more flexible regarding where and when you hold a service. You can have a traditional funeral service before a cremation or a memorial service at any time with or without the urn present. You can keep the urn, scatter the ashes, or have the urn buried in a grave or columbarium where we can hold a service. Whether you choose burial or cremation, we're here to offer you a meaningful ceremony.
