The name Cypress carries special significance: a tree native to British Columbia, long a symbol of strength, longevity, and resilience. Those are the values we hold to: compassion, integrity, and personalized care for every family we serve.

V.In their words
“I was treated very well… kindly with great compassion. The paperwork was handled so smoothly that I was amazed at how I felt taken care of each step of the way. He was treated with respect and honour.”
“Jaron, the Funeral Director, handled my mother’s memorial himself, which I felt was very reassuring. His suggestions and warm, professional demeanor were so welcomed during this difficult time.”
“Kim was so kind and compassionate after the death of my husband. She came to my home and made things so much easier for me. I will continue to sing their praises!”
“They were knowledgeable about the whole process, and taking care of most of the paperwork (ie) medical, pension, etc. It really helped relieve the stress.”
“I cannot speak highly enough of your Funeral Director’s kindness, sensitivity, and quiet assurance that all will be taken care of.”
