Support the Cooperative Memorial Society: Make a Difference in End-of-Life Planning
At the Cooperative Memorial Society (CMS), we believe that everyone deserves a dignified and affordable farewell. Since 1966, we have helped more than 100,000 Albertans navigate end-of-life planning with clarity, respect, and peace of mind. But we can’t do it alone.

Why Volunteer?
Volunteers are the heart of CMS. Whether you have skills in administration, video production, social media marketing, event planning, or public speaking, your contribution can make a lasting impact. By volunteering, you help educate the community, support grieving families, and ensure our members have access to essential resources. Flexible opportunities are available—whether you have a few hours a month or want to be more involved. 

​Why Donate?
CMS is a not-for-profit organization committed to keeping funeral planning accessible and affordable. Your donation helps us expand outreach efforts, improve services, and provide resources to those who need them most. A gift to CMS is a gift of peace of mind for future generations.

Join us today—volunteer, donate, or become a member. Together, we can ensure that every Albertan has the support they need to plan ahead with confidence.

📞 Contact us to get involved: Terry Geib, Executive Director email: [email protected] or 403-248-2044.
