Eco-friendly Burial & Cremation Services
Memorial Trees and Beehives
Heritage Gardens was created to provide families—and communities— with affordable, sustainable, eco-friendly burial space. Our commitment is to serving the bereaved with dignity and compassion; preserving the natural beauty and integrity of the land; and producing outstanding memorials that capture the essence of the life lived.
As the only certified Green Burial site in Metro Vancouver, to us sustainability means growing and donating food on unused property; giving away honey from our beehives to the families who have lost a loved one, and standing with the Memorial Society and the Partners in Care Alliance, to enforce an ethical code of conduct when dealing with grieving families. To be sustainable, it must be affordable - which is why our prices are less than half of other Metro cemeteries.

Wild Breath’s mission is to bring sacred ceremony and reverence to the moments that take our breath away: life, death & rites of passage. “I want to help people show up for the entire range of being ALIVE, right up to the moment we die.”
Tamara is a 35 year old solo mama who lives in the Okanagan and is excited to embark on a new journey as an End of Life Doula.
I believe Death is a ceremony. I conduct yoga nidra meditations (deeply healing relaxation meditations), natal chart readings (to deeply validate ones ability to live out it’s soul purpose), and end of life rituals and ceremony for your loved one and for family members.

Pan-death Guide & ACP consultant, and Bedside Singing services
Pashta began her journey with death when she was 7 - a path that has returned repeatedly over the decades. Her direct experience with the dying began with the AIDs 'crisis' in the 80s - bedside singing, 'end of life' doula work, funerals & memorial services, & now home/family-led funerals. She offers family-clients pan-death care - a death-midwifery continuum of support before, during & after death.
She's a co-founder & executive director of CINDEA, a non-profit society whose website offers resources for the pan-death spectrum (conventional and alternative) across Canada — including specific instructions (videos, PDFs, legal requirements & logistics, etc.) for doing home funerals, & the "By My Own Heart and Hand" training workshops.

Life Cycle Celebrant & Sacred Passage Doula
Creating happiness amid bereavement is a high calling; one that speaks to me as a Life-Cycle Celebrant and an End of Life Doula. The passing of a loved one is difficult time in our life's dance. Sudden loss can be almost unbearable in its surprise; the death of an elder after a long life gives us time to say our good byes. I am particularly skillful crafting sensitive ceremonies for children and loved ones who have died by suicide. My life experience ensures my clients have a caring and compassionate partner as they navigate their end of life journey and plan a Celebrations of Life, consider home funerals, and address the many physical, emotional, spiritual concerns that arise during this time.

I have been a keen student, observer and connector to life and people for over 50 years.

Shawanda, which means "dawn of the day" in Ojibwa, is the largest metaphysical retail store in B.C. for volume, variety, and quality.
Holly's metaphysical knowledge in all the health benefits is second to none and her crystals are hand picked direct from the country of origin. Holly does not purchase at the large trade shows where corruption has found its way into the market tainting the energy of Gaia’s medicine.
The store front offers crystals and gems from every country and a visit to the store is sure to awaken the senses. You will always feel better when you leave then when you arrived.
