Opportunities Calgary Co-operative Memorial Society (CCMS) CCMS is a non-profit, member-owned co- operative. We arrange discounted funeral plans for our members in Calgary, Airdrie, Cochrane, Okotoks, Strathmore, High River, Medicine Hat, Lethbridge, Taber and surrounding areas. Our service providers are locally owned and operated. Members can save on average $2,500 — $5,000 on their funeral arrangements depending on the plan selected. Plans can be prepaid to lock in the price or can be paid at time of need. Since being founded in 1965, we have had more than 45,000 members. Membership ensures that your wishes for your final arrangements are respected, and provides you with access to lower priced plans for funeral services from our service providers. You can opt to enter your guidance information into our online registry for access by the funeral home upon need. This allows you to indicate your preferences at the time of death. It also provides your loved ones with important information they’ll need. The most important benefit is the peace of mind gained from knowing that, by putting your affairs in order now, you will be saving your next-of-kin some hasty and painful decisions involving a large amount of money at a time when they may be emotionally unprepared. You can purchase a lifetime membership for only $40 per adult. For more information visit calgarymemorial.com, or call the CCMS at 403-248-2044 or 1-800-566-9959.
