Picture
Planning for the future is one of the most meaningful gifts you can give to yourself and your loved ones. Taking the time to make important decisions now—while you are healthy and clear-minded—ensures your wishes are respected and lightens the emotional and practical load on those you leave behind.
Visit our Forms and Resources section to find a wide range of tools and information to support your planning journey. Whether you're looking to document your wishes, explore end-of-life options, or learn more about important considerations, our resources are here to guide you every step of the way.

Our Life Planning video features Diana Eaid, a retired social worker from Rockyview General Hospital in Calgary. As a strong advocate for the Cooperative Memorial Society (CMS), Diana shares valuable insights on the importance of planning ahead. Watch the video to learn more.
