Tri-City Cremation Services offers simple cremation and burial services throughout  Waterloo Region and the surrounding area at the time of need or when pre-planning for future needs.

We are an independent, family-owned and operated business licensed by the Bereavement Authority of Ontario. Our goal is to assist families by caring for their loved one from the time of death until the cremation or burial is finalized in a simple, dignified and affordable manner.
  •  Tri-City Cremation Services is family owned and operated, by Shawn McKay, who has been a Licensed Funeral Director for over 20 years.
  • We are independent, not funded by any larger companies or corporations.  
  • Our simple approach to business can make end of life planning a much more affordable option than traditional full-service funeral arrangements.
  •  We serve all faith traditions. 
  • Many families choose to arrange a service or celebration of life directly with their church, community centre or a local reception facility. Although we do not provide co-ordination services for this portion of your arrangements, we welcome any questions you may have as it relates to the end of life arrangements we provide for you. ​
  • All fees are clearly explained. There are no hidden costs.
