Calgary Co-operative Memorial Society (CCMS)

Calgary Co-operative Memorial Society (CCMS) was formed by a group of concerned citizens in 1966. These founding members aspired to find an affordable, dignified, and cooperative alternative to traditional funerals. The cooperative's principles have remained consistent since its inception: To advance thoughtful, dignified, and rational funeral practices through education and collaboration. We encourage our members to plan for their eventual death with a clear mind, free of emotional burdens. We endeavor to create lasting memorials that respect the departed while also providing comfort for the living.
