This is from GrayBeards Post. Seems like a reasonable option. Transport to Calgary, can't imagine it would be more than $1 a Klm over the 50 Klms, use their services, pickup ashes or have them mailed to you. You also have the option to transport the body to the funeral home yourself. Even with extra mileage looks a bunch cheaper than the options locally.

Choice Memorial

$995 plus GST (includes the following):

• Arrangement conference with one of our Licensed Funeral Directors in our funeral home or in your home (at no additional charge, whether it is during the day, evening or on a weekend).
• All necessary documentation for registration of death and permits for the cremation
• Transfer of deceased within 50 km radius (no extra charges for evening or weekend transfers, or transfers requiring two people)
• Cremation fee (all cremations are performed at Choice Memorial Crematorium located in our funeral home)
• Unlimited Funeral Directors Proof of Death Certificates
• Creation and submission of obituary to newspaper (newspaper costs additional)
• Creation of personal memorial page and book of memories on our website. This is a place to share the obituary (any length, no extra charge), and to provide a place for friends and family members to share condolences, photos, stories and memories.

We do not apply additional charges for evening and weekend transfers or transfers requiring two staff members. We do not apply additional charges to make arrangements in the evening or weekends, nor do we charge a weekend fee for services on the weekend. We are happy to give you a tour of our funeral home and crematorium, and answer any questions you may have. This is part of the Choice Memorial difference!
