Partner Funeral Homes and Plans for CMS Members
Partner Funeral Homes
CMS partners with locally owned funeral homes that share our values of compassion and integrity. Members gain access to simple, dignified plans that save families $2,500–$7,500 depending on selections. Plans can be pre-arranged or arranged at the time of need. Plan components vary slightly by provider, but all offer these core options:
  • A1: Funeral with Burial
  • A2: Funeral with Burial (Green Casket)
  • A3: Burial (No Events)(Proposed for 2026) 
  • B1: Basic Cremation (No Events)
  • B1-A: Basic Cremation with Private Farewell
  • B2: Cremation Before Funeral
  • B3: Cremation After Funeral
  • C: 10% Discount Option
Affordable & Flexible
Prepaying locks in prices and eases future decisions. 
Services for Members in Rural Communities
Funeral providers in smaller or rural communities often face higher prices due to limited competition and higher supplier costs. It may be worthwhile to contact a CMS partner funeral home in an urban centre for a quote—including travel costs—as the total may still be more affordable.
Supporting CMS
A $35 records fee is collected by the funeral home and remitted to CMS to help fund our nonprofit operations. CMS is led by volunteers, a part-time Membership Coordinator, and an Executive Director. Donations are welcome.
