Making end-of-life arrangements for a loved one is deeply personal and often emotional. It’s a time when compassion, guidance, and transparency matter most.
Simple Choice Cremation Ottawa is dedicated to offering families in Ottawa and the surrounding regions respectful and affordable cremation services.
Simple Choice Cremation Ottawa, previously known as Cremation Basics Ottawa, has a proven track record as the preferred cremation provider in Ottawa, according to Mitchell Laframboise, the Funeral Director of Simple Choice in Ottawa, who is a 15-year licensed funeral director and proud to serve families in his hometown.
“At Simple Choice Cremation, we focus on helping families through challenging times,” says Laframboise. “We offer basic and affordable cremation services without traditional funeral services and their related costs,” he says. “Simple Choice Cremation specializes in low-cost cremation options. You meet with a licensed funeral director to complete all the paperwork and arrange the transfer of your loved one from the place of death to our cremation centre.”
With cremation becoming a preferred choice of disposition among people considering end-of-life options, Simple Choice Cremation Ottawa is an innovator when it comes to removing the mystery and making it easy for families to experience dignified, professional service – while saving thousands of dollars and remaining in control of their memorialization options.
Simple Choice Cremation offers a wide selection of keepsakes to help maintain a tangible connection to those we’ve lost. From personalized keepsake jewelry pieces to hand-blown glass art and pendants, the collections offered by Simple Choice ensure there are options to suit every taste and budget. Most pieces across the collections can be personalized with a fingerprint, text, a laser-etched photo, or your loved one’s handwriting or cremated remains.
Mitchell emphasizes the importance of understanding your options, noting, “Cremation opens up many opportunities for honouring your loved one’s memory, including unique memorial offerings like miniature keepsake urns and DNA Preservation. We’ll work with you to find the option that feels most meaningful for your family.”
Simple Choice Cremation Ottawa is not a traditional funeral establishment. It provides a warm environment that is ideal for families who are choosing cremation and do not wish for a traditional funeral, but are not willing to sacrifice a high level of service.
Mitchell notes, “The story of Simple Choice Cremation is one of unprecedented growth and service excellence.” He adds, “Since opening its first location in Windsor in 2014, Simple Choice Cremation has grown to become the preferred cremation provider across Ontario.”
“The genesis of Simple Choice was the vision of Philip Janisse, who provided families of Windsor and Essex County with a simple, dignified, and professional alternative to traditional funeral services,” Laframboise explains. In January 2024, Cremation Basics Ottawa acquired the Simple Choice Cremation license.
For individuals and families considering estate planning, Simple Choice Cremation also offers pre-planning options. “The advantage of pre-planning with Simple Choice Cremation is that you can secure your wishes, ensure that your financial obligations are met, provide you and your family with the peace of mind that comes from knowing your end-of-life plan is in place, and save money by purchasing services at today’s cost,” says Laframboise.
Our dedicated team of After Care specialists are also available to provide you with any grief and estate settlement service assistance. This includes access to invaluable grief resources and credentialled counsellors through our Bereavement Assistance Program.
