Natural, compassionate care for the deceased
At KORU, we believe death care is a community practice. We offer personalized, eco-friendly burial, cremation, and funeral ceremonies that honour both the deceased and those who gather to remember them.
For over a decade, our Vancouver-based, women-led team has provided natural, meaningful care for individuals and families from every corner of the community.Â
We welcome both non-denominational and faith-based requests, providing simple, sustainable, and personalized options for cremation, burial, and ceremony.
Whether you’re preparing for a death or navigating a recent loss, we’re here to walk alongside you — helping you mourn, remember, and care for your deceased in a way that feels authentic, personal, and connected.

What Our Families Say
Rebecca and Ngaio were kind, knowledgeable and professional. They had helpful suggestions and assisted our daughter and myself to smoothly navigate a sad and difficult time in our lives after the loss of my husband and her dad. Many thanks to Rebecca and Ngaio.
Our family will always be grateful for the exceptional care we received from KORU during one of the hardest times in our lives. From our first conversation, Rebecca treated us like family. She listened intently, answered every question with kindness, and guided us through each step with genuine compassion. Her gentle care and extra support have made a world of difference as we have been navigating our loss. We felt cared for in every detail, and that personal touch has helped ease our hearts during this incredibly challenging period. Thank you, Rebecca and the entire KORU team, for being such a rock for us when we needed it most.
Shelly
I am so very grateful to your service for providing us with a seamless, comfortable choice for Jak’s passing. I think fondly about the caring, sensitive service you provided while you spent time with us. I’m still grateful for everything you provided for our comfort and understanding.
Thank you, S.King
Dear Ngaio and Rebecca,
Thank you for holding space with such grace and presence for our dearest father. We now hold a beautiful memory of having him finally come home. I am so grateful our deepest wishes could come true. I know Papa is so grateful too.
Much love,
Samera & Family
On behalf of our family, we would like to extend to you and Rebecca our sincere appreciation for your help, support and compassion during our difficult time. Everything was done professionally from our first meeting through the funeral and afterward. Your kindness and attention to detail really helped us and we are very grateful. Our dad would be pleased with the whole service, as we are too.
