Yates Memorial Services cares for the families of Parksville with compassion and professionalism. We are the only combined funeral home and cemetery in the Oceanside area, allowing families to make funeral, cremation and burial arrangements at the same location. With a modern, relaxed feel, the funeral home is a lovely venue for a celebration of life or traditional memorial. Because we have several rooms for gathering and are situated on lush cemetery property, family and guests don't have to travel after a service to attend a catered reception or graveside ceremony. Everything you need to honour a loved one and host guests is conveniently located in one place. The cemetery at Yates Memorial Services opened in 1995, along with the funeral home. It was envisioned as a place for traditional casket burial and cremation memorialization. However, as the years went by, we saw the need for a more natural burial area and established Nature Grove. The Green Burial Society of Canada sets the standard for green burial and environmentally sustainable death-care practices in Canada. In 2018, the Green Burial Council of Canada certified our Parksville cemetery. It is Canada’s only green burial cemetery with an on-site funeral home. For green burial, a loved one's body is prepared in a simple manner, without embalming. The loved one is clothed and wrapped in a biodegradable shroud or placed in a natural burial casket, which is placed directly in the ground, without a vault. Surrounded by a locally sourced cedar fence, Nature Grove is intended to be a natural environment without a lot of manmade features. To that end, memorialization does not occur on each individual plot, as with traditional burial. Instead, memorial boulders engraved with loved ones' names are placed throughout the garden.
