An Outline of Our Process

When a death occurs* and you have chosen Wareing Cremation Services as your Provider, contact us immediately,

519-409-5575 or 519-290-5575

regardless of the time of day or night.


Even if a health care provider, nurse, or doctor states that they will contact us, please appoint someone from the family to call immediately, because sometimes things get missed.

*If it is not an immediate need of assistance, please refer to our hours of operations here. Please note scheduled appointments are required.

Meeting with your Chosen Provider

Final Arrangements for your loved one will be accomplished at an appointment in our Establishment. 

We meet to provide an explanation of what we can provide, a complete explanation of the necessary and optional, record personal applicable information, record documentation, and gain signatures from the Executor(s).  Decisions on Obituaries, Urn(s), and other applicable supplies and disbursements are made at this time as well. 


An Executor will wear many hats.  At this juncture he/she/they are the legal voice and signature to approve the final decisions for Arrangements, and provide their signature(s) to accomplish those final decisions and expenses. 


We cannot proceed with any aspect of Final Arrangements (other than the transfer of the deceased into our care) before we have completed this step.

Wareing Cremation Services cares for and works for your loved one from the place of death through to the return of the cremated remains and your paper package of documents to the Executor or family.


Wareing Cremation Services provides the transportation for the initial transfer of the deceased....which means that you, the police, the coroner, or the hospital/hospice/LTC Staff, telephone Wareing Cremation Services to attend the place of death.


As a Transfer Service Class 2, Wareing Cremation Services provides Services (including the cremation services provided by the crematorium as specified), Supplies, and Disbursements.


There are legal requirements surrounding the death of an individual.  Those extend to the Services and Disbursements that we provide....and that is why the documents requested are essential.  No, we do not “just pick the deceased up and take them to the crematorium”.  That is not what direct cremation is.


Death is inevitable.  Making those Final Arrangements lay bare the imposed demands of death that are the cultural, religious, personal, and family obligations of the deceased. 


Although many try to dismiss these requirements as unnecessary, we would suggest these requirements are essential to the “structure” of recognizing death and the beginning of our acceptance of loss through death. 


All of the following details and personal information will be covered in this initial meeting and decisions will have to be made and all aspects coordinated in hours, not days.  The following 2 points listed are the documents and information required for this meeting with your chosen Provider. By having this information in your possession when you arrive for our meeting, we can eliminate the possibility of errors and delays

1.

Gather vital statistics and all of these necessary documents in preparation for your meeting. 


  • A copy of the Last Will and Testament for the deceased to ascertain the identity of Executor(s). 
  • Executor’s identification documentation 
  • Documentation that provides the complete legal name of the deceased.
  • Current residential address of the deceased.
  • Date of Birth of the Deceased – Birth Certificate where possible.
  • Place of Birth of the Deceased. 
  • Social Insurance Card of the Deceased, and where applicable that of  their Spouse. (Number and Name on Card) 
  • Marital Status (Original Marriage Certificate where applicable).
  • You will be asked for the Occupation of the Deceased (longest or last).
  • Documentation that provides the complete legal name of the Deceased’s Spouse, their date of birth, their place of birth. 
  • Deceased’s Father’s legal name, and his place of birth. 
  • Deceased’s Mother’s legal name, her maiden name, and her place of birth. 
  • As applicable, documentation that provides the Social Insurance Number, legal name, date of birth, and current residential address for all of the child(ren) of the deceased entitled to benefits.

2.

Come prepared to compose a death notice for the newspaper and website Obituary page, including a photo if that is something you desire  to be published. 


Paul and Barb are able to sit down with you to compose an Obituary but the Family must have proper spelling of names of family members to be included, and where memorial donations should be directed (if applicable). 


*There is importance in making the time before our meeting to give consideration, and perhaps engage in discussions where appropriate, as to  what aspects are important to the services in advance of our meeting.  An example of this would be whether or not your family will be planning a Celebration of Life (when, where)? 

You will probably want these details included in the Obituary.

All of this information listed above is essential to enable us to complete all  necessary documentation and application paperwork.   Factual information is absolutely essential at this time.

When someone close to you dies - emotions tend to run high. 

Remember, there are no silly questions and no one expects you to be at your best or to remember everything.  Wareing Cremation Services is trusted to provide respectful and compassionate care. We are committed to helping you take those last steps.
