More on Plans for CMS members

There are different plans available from simple cremation with no service to more elaborate burial services with viewing and service.

Plans, services, inclusions and prices differ by each funeral home. Plans typically are based on the following:
​

1. Plan A1             Funeral Service with Burial
2. Plan A2             Funeral Service with Burial (Green Casket)
3. Plan B1             Basic Cremation with No Events
4. Plan B1-A          Basic Cremation with Private Farewell
5. Plan B2             Basic Cremation with a Funeral Service (Cremation prior to funeral event)
6. Plan B3             Cremation following Visitation and Funeral
7. Plan C               10% discount

Plans may be purchased at time of need or, prepayment of funeral plans is available from most of our providers pre-need. This is beneficial because your decisions are finalized and the plan is paid for at the current fee - potentially saving you more money.

While our basic plans are similar across our all of our service providers, the details of the plans differ based on our negotiated contract with each funeral home. For this reason it is important to discuss all services required costs up front and compare plans amongst from different providers.  
​
In addition to the funeral home plan price, a $35 records fee is collected by the funeral home upon plan payment and remitted to us (CMS). This fee helps to cover our administration costs. Our fees are kelp low because we operate as a volunteer-led board of directors who do most of the work in our spare time. We have one paid part time membership services coordinator.
​

What if I change my mind and don't want the prepaid plan I selected or I want to change it ?

Prepaid plans can be "cashed in" for face value less an administration fee should you want to select a different option. This is regulated by the Alberta Funeral Services Regulatory Board (AFSRB). 

Please contact the CMS funeral service partner of choice to prepay for your plan, to obtain more information, or to arrange services. No proof of membership is required as the funeral director has the ability to look up your membership information from our registry.
