About this Event

Preparing for end-of-life choices is an act of care that can ease future decisions and reduce the emotional burden on loved ones. When loss occurs, grief can make it difficult to think clearly, yet important, time-sensitive decisions must still be made. This informative and practical session will help you understand what can be done in advance—at no cost—so your wishes are clear and respected. Taking time to plan ahead can significantly reduce stress for those you care about most.


You'll learn:

  • What you can do in advance to protect your loved ones later—at no cost
  • What happens when you meet to make funeral arrangements or pre-arrangements
  • Cremation, alkaline hydrolysis, and burial: understanding your options
  • Natural and green burial choices
  • How cremated remains can be returned to families as a beautiful set of memorial stones
  • Protection and planning when death occurs far from home


Thryve & Shine is a complimentary monthly seminar series designed for older adults and their families. These daytime gatherings are a chance to replace overwhelm with clear, current, and relevant information in a welcoming, community setting.

Each session features engaging seminars and panels led by trusted local experts who provide honest, objective answers to the questions older adults are asking most. From lifestyle and wellness to legal, financial, and housing decisions, you’ll hear guidance you can truly rely on.

Join us every second Wednesday of the month at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 643 in Etobicoke. Leave each event with greater clarity and confidence, practical resources to review at home (plus digital follow-ups to share with loved ones), and meaningful connections with professionals who genuinely care about your journey.
