Ocean View Funeral Home

Ocean View Funeral Home & Burial Park is probably the nicest cemetery here in British Columbia. I have actually never gotten the chance to experience the funeral home here at Ocean View as all the funeral services were held at Glenhaven Memorial Chapel. But as for the Burial Service, many of my relatives and friends were peacefully buried here. It is such a relaxing and peaceful environment with a flat even ground. The mausoleum is also very big as it has been expanded over the past years. In the future I hope to be able to be afford a plot here as it is such an amazing resting place.

My grandfather was just entombed in the mausoleum here. The workers were fantastic, making some of the technical aspects as seamless as possible (ie using a cherry picker type thing for lifting the casket up to the level my grandad was being laid to rest). Even though they were workers donned in overalls, they still expressed their condolences to the quite large group of family we had there. They must express a lot of condolences being the only ones who place caskets in the mausoleum, as it’s an enormously huge building, so good on them.
No funeral is going to be enjoyable, but they made it as painless as possible.
The mausoleum is also a beautiful, tranquil quiet place in itself.

One of the largest grave site in the lower mainland. I don’t have anyone here (thank god), however, my best friend and I like to walk by and learn and imagine about those who have passed. It is very well maintained and well managed. It saddens me that the older plots don’t have colorful flowers on a regular basis, they’re now forgotten. I find it pretentious some of the plots have have their own fenced gardens and mini benches, very snobby and upper class. It makes me roll my eyes. It is a large plot and a peaceful walk in the day time. Good short cut on the way home walking from the mall.

«Who reviews memorial parks?!»
To start things off, I’d like to point out that I’m a average Unilocal reviewer and to top that off, I’m also someone who works in the floral industry, so that is why I’ve decided to review a memorial park.
Oceanview is one of the 2 big memorial parks we have in the greater Vancouver area owned by a company called the Dignity Group; the other one being Forestlawn. Dignity is a funeral service company that runs most of the funeral services in Vancouver and always provides excellent to all their clients and families.
For all information about plots, services, and arrangements of any sorts, look for their green symbol and you won’t ever be disappointed with the services they can provide during the difficult times.
