BULLETIN BOARD
Cooperative Memorial Society ( CMS )
CMS is a non-profit , member-owned cooperative . We arrange economical funeral plans for our members in the Edmonton area and in central and southern Alberta , by contracting with locally operated service providers . Members can save an average of $ 2,500 to $ 5,000 on their funeral arrangements , depending on the plan selected . Plans can be prepaid with many of our service providers to lock in prices or can be paid at the time of need .
Since our founding in 1965 , we have enrolled more than 55,000 members . Membership ensures that your wishes for your final arrangements are respected and provides you with access to lower-priced plans for funeral services from our service providers . You can opt to enter your guidance information into our online database for the funeral home to access at the time of need . This service also provides your loved ones with important information that they will need at that time .
The most important benefit of membership is the peace of mind gained from knowing that , by putting your affairs in order now , you will be saving your next-of-kin some hasty , painful , and expensive decisions at a time when they may be emotionally unprepared .
You can purchase a lifetime membership for only $ 40 per adult . For more information , visit calgarymemorial . com or call the CMS at 403-248-2044 or 1-800-566-9959 .
