Our Mission

Eternal Care Ltd. is dedicated to providing families an affordable, modest and respectful alternative to existing funeral services; based on simplicity, lower costs and eco-friendly solutions. 

The vision that inspired Eternal Care was to see that all people have access to affordable, locally owned funeral services.
