The Funeral will be a Celebration of Life with Chinese traditions, including the blanket ceremony and the burning of incense/worshipping of our ancestors. As such, floral arrangements would be appreciated.
York Cemetery recommends Alyssa Florists at 416-609-9202. They speak both English and Chinese and understand the Asian floral requirements as the flowers travel with the casket to the burial site to “line the pathway” to heaven. They will also have all the details of the funeral service.
If you are using your own Asian Florist, the flowers are recommended to be delivered the day before the funeral (before 5 pm) or Saturday between 9 am - 12 pm
If you prefer to make a donation, please consider donating to North York General Hospital.
Please join us after the funeral service on Saturday, August 2nd for a late lunch served at 4:15 pm at Legend Chinese Restaurant, 5 Glen Cameron Road, Thornhill, ON -- 905-882-6272. https://maps.app.goo.gl/Uhw68sorb5VGMXdR8
