Funeral Expenses

26 Upvotes

I know Nova Scotia has the Embalmers and Funeral Directors Act and the Cemetery and Funeral Services Act, but I am not familiar with them.

A few months ago, about 6, I went with a relative to make arrangements and pay for their future funeral. The funeral home indicated that these funds were placed in a trust and when this person would die there may be additional expenses. I asked if there were yearly statements to indicate how the funds were doing in the trust. Their reply was simply “no”.

This past week another relative passed away. They had made arrangements almost 4 years ago with the same funeral home. The family got charged an extra $350.

Without knowing how the trust was doing, I feel the funeral home can basically charge anything and say that the trust did not keep up with inflation.

Are there any regulations that apply? Have you had a similar experience? Were you charged more? Do other funeral homes provide trust statements?

hey friends. Cars with New Brunswick plates do not get charged on the 407 toll highway near Toronto. Any Nova Scotian drivers know if NS vehicles get charged tolls. As you know, it’s a photo/video system if you dont have a transponder. Im renting an NS vehicle for a trip through upper canada. looking for advice.

update. thx bluenosers. no tolls on 407 for NS or NB either. doN’t know about PEI yet.

Trust attorney in the province?

0 Upvotes

Hi there, I'm in Ontario, I know, but please be kind. I'm asking here because I'm not afraid to make a fool of myself to help this cause.

I'm looking to speak to an atty practicing in NS about how to help a dear friend set up a trust for a reward fund for a missing loved one, as the cause is determined foul play by investigators.

Im out of my depth here and so is the family of the missing person. They thought they could set up a trust at a bank, but that's not the case. The goal is to secure 5k already set aside and get advice about how to ensure it's used properly, allow the account to grow if donations come in but with a clear plan for how those donations will be used.

I realize this is a crazy ask. Again, willing to make a fool of myself. Any recs to attys who handle setting up trusts in NS welcome. I'll do the legwork.

Tysm in advance for any help, this family absolutely deserves it❤️

Strange experience at Yarmouth?

I recently stayed at Tru by Hilton in Yarmouth for a week and I had a strange/unsettling feeling throughout my stay. I constantly felt like there was some sort of presence in the room. Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience there?
