Retirement invites reflection— on what comes next and how to make things easier for the people we love. For thousands of Albertans, joining the Cooperative Memorial Society( CMS) has been a meaningful first step in planning ahead. While CMS doesn’ t offer legal or financial services, we do encourage members to create a will, prepare a personal directive, and talk with their families about end-of-life wishes. We also provide access to trusted resources and professionals who can help. For a one-time fee of $ 40 per person, members receive lifetime access to the following:

• Significantly discounted funeral plans with locally owned funeral homes

• Secure storage of funeral preferences, accessible to providers at time of death

• Educational tools to support thoughtful, values-based planning

“ When my father passed, we didn’ t have to guess what he wanted. His CMS membership gave us guidance and peace in the middle of our grief.”

Planning ahead through CMS doesn’ t just save money— it spares families from having to make emotional decisions under pressure.
