Let's celebrate life

Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre offers many ways to honour a life, from traditional to contemporary. We believe every person is different, and our mission is to pay tribute to each unique life with a unique funeral service. We love to help families plan modern events that deeply embody the passions of the person being honoured. Our professional celebrants specialize in planning celebrations of life and work with your family to discover the details that make a memorial memorable. See MoreSee Less

A celebration of life can take many forms and include only small touches, such as photos and mementos, or become an extravagant affair. Our celebrants work to make sure your loved one's personality shines. Imagine a winter wonderland for your cold-weather lover or a luau for someone who was obsessed with Hawaii. From a dove release to cupcake bar, a hockey-themed memorial to a fireworks show, we take the things that mattered most to someone and create a celebration to remember. See MoreSee Less

Cremation services

We specialize in cremation services that honor loved ones in personalized ways, and families love our transparent pricing. With expertise in scattering ashes and a friendly team who pays attention to every detail, we provide service that is second to none. See MoreSee Less

More and more people are choosing cremation over traditional burial, but most aren’t familiar with the many options:

• a cremation without a funeral or memorial service of any kind.
• a funeral with your loved one present, followed by cremation.
• a cremation followed by a scattering, cemetery memorialization or celebration of life—or all three.

For those who wish for a more momentous memorial, Neptune Memorial Reef is an underwater cremation garden off the coast of Florida. A Celestis Memorial Spaceflight takes ashes into space for a little while or forever.

There are many options for cremation—and they're not all equal. Here's what you can expect when you choose us for your loved one's cremation:

• Custody of care guaranteed. Our custody-of-care program helps safeguard the identification of your loved one from the time we bring them into our care until the time we return them to your family. We check, cross-check and check again, every step of the way.
• Exclusive custody of your loved one. We operate a private, on-site crematory and work with trusted partners. Once your loved one is in our custody or that of a trusted partner, they’re in our care until they’re returned to your family.
• Licensed, certified, conscientious staff. All Dignity Memorial crematory operators are licensed and certified by Cremation Association of North America, or CANA. Only one person at a time is cremated, and the cremation chamber is thoroughly cleaned before the next person is cremated.

Asian cultural events

Each spring, we celebrate Ching Ming with families who have loved ones buried at Victory Memorial Park. The funeral home holds an open house, and families come to sweep their loved ones' graves. We also celebrate Chung Yeung in the fall.

Christmas candlelight service

In December, Victory Memorial Park and Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre host a Christmas candlelight service to acknowledge the pain that can come during the holidays, even years after the death of a loved one. The event brings families together to light candles, enjoy sweet treats and enjoy the power of fellowship. We give commemorative Christmas ornaments to all the families we have served.

History

The Veteran Memorial Trust Association opened what would become Victory Memorial Park in 1955 as Veterans Memorial Park. The 1st burial took place in March of 1959. Soon after, a 65-foot military cross was constructed; howitzer guns were placed on either side. See MoreSee Less

In the 1970s, the cemetery went from mainly a place for military members and their families to a public cemetery. The howitzer guns were donated to the City of White Rock and the Vancouver Armoury. Though Victory Memorial Park is no longer an exclusively veterans’ cemetery, we still honour the veterans buried here each Remembrance Day.

Victory Memorial Park now has sections designated for members of religious organizations such as Beth Tikvah Jewish Congregation (Richmond), St. Vartan’s Armenian Church, Canadian Hussaini Association, Aga Khan, Armenian Church and the British Columbia Muslim Association. See MoreSee Less

A on-site crematorium and cremation gardens

In 1972, a crematorium and funeral chapel were built on the cemetery grounds. In 1984, Victory Memorial Park opened its 1st cremation garden. Memory Glen is a tranquil space with a large pond. Our 2nd cremation garden is called Brookside.
