Free Family Registry Estate Planner™

At Arbor Memorial, we are a trusted member of the Veteran community. Many Arbor Memorial locations have unique options just for veterans and their families. For example, you may want to pay tribute to your years of service through pictures or engraved epitaphs in the memorialization marking your final resting place. Or you may choose to personalize your casket or urn with a symbol, to represent your military experience.

Burial? Cremation? Making these final decisions is one of the heart wrenching choices your loved ones must make. By pre-planning, you can learn about the various ecological, social, and financial benefits of each method and make an informed choice that reflects your values. And your family can be spared these decisions.

Safe Step is pleased to offer Legion members $2000 off the cost of a walk-in tub with full installation. For every Safe Step walk-in tub sold we will also donate $225 to the Legion. As part of Canadian Safe Step Walk-In Tub Co.’s initiative to give back, we are proud to partner with The Royal Canadian Legion’s Member Benefits Package and to help our veterans through various programs.

At Canadian Safe Step Walk-In Tub Co., we understand that our clients need a walk-in tub that will help them remain safe, comfortable and independent. The addition of a walk-in tub can also extend the ability to live independently by an average of five years. Our tubs are loaded with safety features including low step-ins, anti-slip surfaces, safety grab bars and wider doors.

Canadian Safe Step Walk-In Tub Co., is a 100% Canadian-owned business supplying the highest quality North American made walk-in tubs and showers. We have the most certifications and the best warranty in the industry. In our own small way, we also proudly serve our fellow Canadians.
