Why Choose Cremation

Park Lawn LP opened its first crematorium in 1965 at Riverside Cemetery. Forest Lawn Cremation Centre followed in 1980. Today, from our three crematorium locations, we perform more cremations than any other provider in Toronto.

Take advantage of our knowledge and expertise for all of your cremation planning needs. In addition to our cremation services, your Forest Lawn Counsellor can review our many other options for remembering your loved one, your way.

Many people choose cremation over traditional burial simply because they prefer it, and for these additional advantages:

• Cost savings: On average, cremations can save a family thousands of dollars over a full-size ground burial. Forest Lawn offers many affordable cremation package options.
• Greater flexibility: Getting an extended family together for a traditional funeral service can be a challenge. Many families opt for cremation at the time of death, then take the time to plan a fitting memorial service at a later date.
• More sustainable: There’s no question that cremation saves land space and has a smaller impact on the limited land available for burial space.
