Practical guidance for life’s most difficult moment:

What to do when someone we love passes away

The Cooperative Memorial Society (CMS) invites you and your guests to an informative presentation answering common member questions, including:

What steps must happen when a death occurs?
What do families and/or your personal representative (executor) need to do?
What can we expect before and at the funeral home?

You’ll also learn how planning ahead can bring clarity, assurance, and peace of mind for you and your loved ones.

Free events in 3 cities. Guests are welcome. While no ticket is required, registration is helpful for planning refreshments.

🦆 CMS will also have its new Ducks-in-a-Row Planning Binder available for intro price of $30.00 cash or cheque — a comprehensive resource and step-by-step tool that makes planning simple and manageable.

For assistance, visit coopmemorial.org or call 403-248-2044 / 1-800-566-9959.
