BEFORE YOU BEGIN

A few helpful answers.

You can browse public service information before joining. Create an account when you need to manage a funeral event, submit a request, or participate in an account-based activity.

Funeral events are private by default. The organiser manages invitations and member access. Review the event’s privacy settings before sharing sensitive information.

No. Registration creates your account. You create a funeral event separately when you are ready.

Check Plans & Pricing for platform features and subscription costs. Provider services and products have their own prices and terms, which you should confirm before agreeing to a booking.

Review the provider’s details, verification status, service area, and terms. A verification status is not a guarantee of service quality. Confirm availability, qualifications relevant to the service, costs, and payment arrangements directly.

Follow the invitation link sent by the organiser. If you need access, ask the organiser for an invitation. An account alone does not grant access to a private event.

No. You can find or order a specific product or service without creating a funeral event. For example, you may arrange transport, catering, accommodation, printing, or equipment hire as a separate need. Create a funeral event when you want to coordinate family arrangements, invitations, updates, and support together.

Yes. Service providers, vendors, accommodation hosts, transport providers, and support organisations can make their offerings visible through their profiles and listings. A listing does not need to be attached to a funeral event. The account, verification, approval, and subscription requirements relevant to the offering still apply.

Yes. Users and providers may make arrangements directly by phone, in person, or through other agreed contact methods, and many services are delivered off-platform. Using a listing does not require every step to happen on Kijiji. Agree on scope, price, availability, payment, and cancellation terms, and keep your own records when the arrangement takes place outside the platform.
