Your Questions, Answered

It's normal to have questions. Here are some in-depth answers to provide clarity.

How much does an average funeral cost in Canada?

Note: These are national averages, not KindFlare fees. Costs vary widely by location and choices, but generally:

  • Professional Fees: $2,000 - $4,000
  • Casket/Urn: $900 - $6,000+
  • Ceremony/Venue: $500 - $2,500
  • Cemetery Plot: $1,500 - $10,000+

Total average cost ranges from $5,000 to over $15,000.

What is an executor's first responsibility?
The very first responsibility is to find the original signed Will. This document is the source of authority. Immediately after, they should arrange the funeral and secure assets.
What happens to debt when someone dies?
Debts do not disappear; they are owed by the estate. The executor must use estate assets to pay off debts and taxes before beneficiaries receive anything.
What is Probate and is it required?
Probate is the court process that validates a Will. Banks often require it to release assets. Not every estate needs it (e.g., joint assets often skip probate).
Do I need a lawyer for a Will?
Our Will Generator organizes your intentions but does not create a legally-binding document. To create an enforceable Will, hiring a lawyer is highly recommended.
