"I can’t thank CMS enough for all the support during such a difficult time. They guided me through every step — from helping my husband transition from home to hospice to arranging his membership with CMS. The process was made so much easier thanks to their kindness and expertise. After my husband passed, I was amazed at how much we saved — our bill at McInnis & Holloway was less than $3,000. I am truly grateful for the care and assistance we received."

At the Cooperative Memorial Society (CMS), we believe end-of-life planning should be affordable for everyone. By becoming a CMS member, you gain access to significantly lower-cost funeral plans—often saving hundreds or even thousands of dollars—through our trusted network of locally owned providers.
A one-time membership fee of just $40 per person gives you peace of mind, protects your family from unexpected costs, and ensures your final wishes are respected without pressure or confusion. Membership is required before death occurs. Join today and take control of your future—with clarity, dignity, and real savings. |
Member Plans
Funeral homes will travel up to 200 km for an additional fee to cover travel costs for CMS members. While this adds to the overall price, the total cost remains significantly lower than the average funeral service prices in many rural areas.
