Ce que demandent les familles de Scarborough
Does Cleo serve all of Scarborough?
Yes — every neighbourhood, from the Bluffs and Guildwood in the south to Malvern and Agincourt in the north, West Hill to Wexford. Scarborough is large and east of downtown, but our transfer team is on call 24/7 and there is no distance or east-end surcharge. Wherever your loved one is, the price is the same.

What we quote is what you pay.
See our all-inclusive priceCan Cleo respect our family’s customs and timing?
Scarborough is one of Canada’s most diverse communities, and families arrange cremation for many reasons — cultural, religious, and personal. Cleo works with every background and can accommodate your timing, witnessing, and ceremony needs around a direct cremation. Tell us what matters to your family and we will arrange the rest with care.
Talk to our care teamWhere can families scatter ashes near Scarborough?
Toronto does not require a permit to scatter ashes on City land or into the water, so families often choose a meaningful spot close to home — the lookouts at Bluffer’s Park beneath the Scarborough Bluffs, Guild Park and Gardens, or the trails of Morningside Park and Rouge National Urban Park. Be considerate of others and leave no marker.

What's included for Scarborough families
Cleo is built for the way Scarborough families actually arrange things today — without a showroom visit, often while coordinating between a family home, a Scarborough Health Network hospital, and relatives across the GTA or overseas. Every direct cremation includes the essentials, handled for you from the first call to the return of the ashes:
- Transfer into our care from anywhere in Scarborough — your home in Agincourt or Guildwood, or a hospital such as Scarborough General or Birchmount.
- The cremation itself at a licensed Ontario facility, with dignified, identified handling at every step.
- All Ontario paperwork — the proof of death and the coroner's cremation certificate — filed on your behalf.
- A simple, dignified urn, with the option to upgrade only if you want to.
- Return of the ashes to your Scarborough door, usually within five to seven business days.
- A real person available 24/7 to answer your questions before, during, and after.
No hidden fees, no east-end location surcharge, and no pressure to add services. If you ever want more — a viewing, a finer urn, help planning a celebration of life — we'll give you clear, à la carte options.

Ce que les familles disent de Cleo
Conformité et transparence
Agréé, conforme et transparent
Bereavement Authority of Ontario · Class 1 Transfer Service licence
Cremation in Ontario is regulated, and that protects your family. Cleo operates under provincial licensing and handles every legal requirement, so nothing falls to you during an already difficult week.
- Every cremation provider in Ontario is licensed by the Bereavement Authority of Ontario (BAO) — you can verify any provider, Cleo included, in the BAO’s public registry.
- Cleo serves Scarborough families under a Class 1 Transfer Service licence: the provincial authorization to receive, shelter, and transfer a loved one into cremation.
- Under Ontario’s Funeral, Burial and Cremation Services Act, 2002, a coroner reviews and signs a cremation certificate before any cremation proceeds, and we file the proof of death on your behalf.
- Your loved one’s identity is verified at every stage, so the ashes returned to you are unmistakably theirs.
