Just attended a funeral there for my husband's grandma. The staff are really nice and professional…read more When we go there, everything was set up. The chapel is quiet and feels tranquil. The staff gave my 3 year old a bear. That part was pretty funny... he didn't want one at first and after the mass.. another staff approached and tried to give him a bear. At the burial sight, a canopy and chairs were set up. After the farewell, they closed up the burial site, added the grass back on and moved the flowers. The whole process was seamless Apparently, grandma already had her burial plan all set up so the funeral home followed it to the dot.

If the decisions that we don't even want think about, get pushed off until mortality visits your home, we or a loved one will need to navigate a gauntlet of an opaque industry, fraught with pitfalls, when we are at our most vulnerable. The name is succinct and accurate but this does not mean they cut corners, or they are no frills or cheapen the process. What they bring is a personal service, with funeral service staff that are accessible, patient and will honestly answer all your questions without the subtle, but heavy-handed, pressure tactics so much of the industry is known for. They want to learn what you want not pushing options just because they give them the highest margins. 'Affordable' is one of only two Funeral Service companies in Greater Victoria which meet the high standards of the BC Memorial Society. If you are currently planning ahead, the 'Society' offers a low cost, one-time, membership which authorizes them to communicate all your wishes to the relevant parties from from the hospital through your memorial service and burial or cremation. This reasonable membership fee buys you peace-of-mind more than pays for itself by the discounts offered by Funeral Services they recommend. If you have not called the 'BC Memorial Society' already, check out their website at [ https://memorialsocietybc.org/about-us/ ] and call them, toll free at 1 (888) 816-5902.

In helping a friend to recieve a Death Certificate I came into contact with this incompetent…read moreorganization. Originally we ordered three copies. We called them three weeks later after not receiving the certificates and they said that they had not sent it yet, but would send it that day. A week later we had not received the certificate and called again. They said they had sent it three weeks prior, contridicting what they said before, but then also said they had then ready and would send it that day (which didnt make sense that itd be ready so quickly as before they said it took days to prepare.) They promised to send an additional one as well, which they never did. We needed the certificate asap and so finally arranged for a courier and was later told that they had moved offices and not updated their website. We ended up having to send a second courier. If I could give zero stars, I would.

Jesse Webb was our funeral director and handled every detail with much empathy and kindness. Even with Covid restrictions we managed to have my son's memorial and it was handled with detail, class, and warmth. Jesse was great at explaining things, got back to me immediately if I had any questions but mostly he was very empathetic and kind. I needed that during my darkest hours. I highly recommend Burkview for the great clean space, ample parking, straight forwardness, no up-selling, attention to every detail but mostly for the empathy and compassion I received from Jesse at Burkview.

They gave us all the details about what they do and answered ALL our many questions with attention to detail. They also guided and advised us of our next steps. They are genuinely nice people and I would advise residents and non to make their arrangements here. The cemetery is smaller than most but the scenery is very pretty and has many trees. To me, the cemetery grounds was more like a park rather than your typical cemetery - very peaceful. FYI: you must be a Coquitlam resident of 3 years in order to get the resident discount. Our family had a good experience here as much one can have during this very sad time. Both Deb and Kerry mad a very difficult situation much easier.
