Direct cremation in Mississauga
Cremation services in Mississauga
When a parent or partner passes away in Mississauga, the last thing you should face is a funeral-home price list with line items you don’t understand. Cleo handles direct cremation for Mississauga families at one fixed, all-inclusive price — arranged online or by phone, with a real person on the line 24/7.
Common questions
What Mississauga families ask
What does direct cremation actually cost in Mississauga?
Many Mississauga providers advertise a low base price, then add transfer, the urn, and certificates on top. Cleo charges one fixed, all-inclusive price instead — the transfer into our care, the cremation, every Ontario document, a basic urn, and return of the ashes are all included. What we quote is what you pay.
See our all-inclusive priceHow does direct cremation work in Mississauga?
Direct cremation separates the cremation from any ceremony, so you can hold a memorial whenever and wherever feels right. You arrange everything with Cleo online or by phone, we bring your loved one into our care, complete the cremation under Ontario law, and return the ashes to your Mississauga door — usually within about a week.
Walk through the processWhat should I do when someone dies in Mississauga?
If a loved one passes at home, call 911 or their doctor so the death can be confirmed; if it happens at Mississauga Hospital, Credit Valley Hospital, or in a care home, the staff will guide the first steps. Then call Cleo at (438) 817-1770 — our team is on call 24/7 and will take it from there.
What to do in the first hoursWhere can families scatter ashes in Mississauga?
Ontario lets you scatter ashes on your own land, on unoccupied Crown land and water including Lake Ontario, and elsewhere with the owner’s permission. Mississauga families often choose the Lake Ontario waterfront at Jack Darling Memorial Park or Lakefront Promenade, or Kiratpur Park on Dixie Road, a site set aside for scattering. Always check local rules first.

What's included for Mississauga families
Cleo is built for the way Mississauga families actually live — often coordinating between a family home, a Trillium Health Partners hospital, and relatives spread across the GTA or out of province. There is no office to visit and no upsell. 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 Mississauga — your home, a care residence, or a hospital like Mississauga Hospital or Credit Valley Hospital.
- The cremation itself at a licensed Ontario facility, with dignified, identified handling at every step.
- All Ontario paperwork — the proof of death and the 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 Mississauga door, usually within about a week.
- A real person available 24/7 to answer questions before, during, and after.
No hidden fees, no add-on for transfer or certificates, no pressure to upgrade. If you ever want more — a viewing, a nicer urn, help planning a celebration of life — we'll give you clear, à la carte options.

TRUSTED BY FAMILIES
What families say about Cleo
Compliance & transparency
Licensed, compliant, and 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 the legal requirements, so nothing falls to you during an already hard 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 Mississauga 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.
- Identification is verified at every stage, so the ashes returned to you are unmistakably your loved one’s.
Local coordination
Coordinating care across Mississauga
Whether your loved one is at home in Port Credit, in a care residence, or in hospital, Cleo coordinates directly with the staff so you are not relaying messages between buildings. A few of the places we regularly work with in and around Mississauga:
Trillium Health Partners — Mississauga Hospital
Hospital
One of the busiest community hospitals in Canada, at 100 Queensway West near Cooksville. We coordinate transfers directly with the care team, day or night.
Trillium Health Partners — Credit Valley Hospital
Hospital
A full-service hospital at 2200 Eglinton Avenue West, serving the Erin Mills and western side of the city. Our transfer team works directly with the unit staff.
Hospice Mississauga (formerly Heart House Hospice)
Hospice & palliative care
Mississauga’s community hospice (based at 855 Matheson Boulevard East) provides in-home palliative and grief support; the city’s first residential hospice, The Welton Centre, is under construction on the Speakman campus. We coordinate gently with families already in their care.
Assumption Catholic Cemetery & Crematorium
Cemetery, crematorium & funeral home
A cemetery with an on-site, licensed crematorium and funeral home at 6933 Tomken Road — the closest crematorium within Mississauga itself. Families of any faith can ask us about scattering, burial, or columbarium options here.

Our team is available 24 hours a day, every day. We typically reach a Mississauga address — a home in Lorne Park, a residence, or a hospital like Credit Valley — within a few hours, and often sooner. If a death has just occurred, call us first at (438) 817-1770 and we will guide you step by step.
Correct. Many providers advertise a low base price and then add transfer, the urn, certificates, or mileage.

No. Cleo handles everything online or by phone, which is why so many Mississauga families — and their relatives out of town — choose us. We complete the forms, file the Ontario paperwork, and keep you updated, without a single in-person visit unless you want one.
