There is more than one letter buried at Jasmine Plaza. 💌
On June 17, 2023, families gathered to do something extraordinary.
Each family wrote a letter.
Not to us.
Not to Canada.
But to their own descendants — the children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren who would come after them.
They sealed those letters inside a time capsule together with family photographs, so future generations would know exactly what they looked like on the day they made that promise.
A newspaper from 2023 was placed inside too, capturing a moment in time.
The capsule will be opened on June 17, 2048.
Twenty-five years later.
Some of the children who stood around that capsule were only 9 or 10 years old.
By the time it is opened, many will have children of their own.
And one day, those children will read letters their lolos and lolas wrote... to them.
This is what Jasmine Plaza was built for.
Not just a place to rest.
A place where families can speak to each other across generations.
💚
"There's a place where time stands still, where you and I always will be together, be forever just a memory away."
— There's a Place, written by Joey Albert for Jasmine Plaza

To understand why Jasmine Plaza was built, you can read the founders' Letter for Tomorrow, placed inside the time capsule in 2023, at jasmineplaza.com.

Do you remember?
November 1.
The cemetery full of life. Families praying. Eating. Laughing. Children running everywhere while stories were shared beside the people we loved.
Because for us, remembering was never only about grief.
It was about family.
When we launched Jasmine Plaza in 2022, we started something special — our November 1 in Canada.
Every June since then, families have gathered to remember together.
To pray. To share a meal.
To tell stories. To celebrate the people who are still part of us.
On June 27, we gather again.
We hope you'll join us. 💚

Meet Marivic.
She will be the first to tell you she is shy. Quiet. A little suplada at first. 😊
But spend enough time with her, and you will discover one of the warmest and most purposeful people on our team.
Marivic knows firsthand what it means to lose someone without a plan.
When her father passed away, her family had life insurance — but no funeral plan. No guidance. Just credit cards and the kindness of people who helped them through one of the hardest moments of their lives.
That experience didn't just change her. It called her.
Since 2018, Marivic has been serving families as a Life Planning Advisor with Alternatives.
By day, she works as a Medical Laboratory Assistant at Canadian Blood Services. By heart, she helps families avoid the confusion and stress her own family once experienced.
"Death is inevitable," she says. "Why not introduce it to people before it becomes a surprise?"
That is Marivic. Simple. Humble. And absolutely unstoppable once she believes in you. 💚

There’s a moment most families are not prepared for.
Not the loss itself…�but everything that comes after.
Who do we call?�What happens next?�What did they want?
In that moment, even the strongest families feel lost.
That’s why planning ahead matters.
Not just for the future —�but for the people you love, when they need clarity the most.💚

Today we celebrate someone who reminds us that purpose does not retire.
At 67, Maria continues to lead, mentor, train, and inspire the next generation of Life Planning Advisors — often opening not just her office, but her home and her heart to the team she believes in.
This past month alone, 55 Advisors trained together as we prepared for a whole new decade of serving families.
Thank you, Maria, for reminding us that leadership is not about age. It is about purpose, courage, and believing in people before they believe in themselves.
Happy Birthday from your ALP family. 💚

People often ask me — what does it take to do this work?
Honestly? It's not a degree. It's not experience in sales. It's not even knowing anything about funeral planning.
It's caring enough about people to have a conversation most avoid.
Our Life Planning Advisors don't sell. They listen. They guide. They show up for families before the hardest moment arrives.
And in return — they gain something most jobs cannot give.
Purpose. Community. The knowledge that what they do matters.
If that sounds like you — I'd love to talk.

You’ve worked hard.�You deserve to travel… to enjoy life.
But if something happens while you’re away —�will your family know what to do?
Most travel insurance gives money.�And leaves your loved ones to figure out the rest.
The Journey Home rider is different.
If you pass away more than 100 km from home, everything is taken care of — and you’re brought back to Vancouver. A loved one can come home with you.
Not reimbursement.�A real plan.
Because peace of mind shouldn’t stop at your front door.

Most families believe life insurance is enough.
But when loss happens, the first questions are rarely about money.
They are:�Who do we call?�What happens next?�What did they want?
A life insurance policy cannot answer those questions.�A pre-plan can.
Because in the most difficult moment of your family's life, clarity may be the greatest gift you leave behind.

Diamonds are known for their strength, clarity, and brilliance.
Meet Jorge — our team’s proof of excellence in action.
As a licensed insurance broker, Jorge already understood the importance of protecting families. But one discovery changed everything for him — the death certificate needed to release life insurance proceeds comes from the funeral home.
That realization is why he became a Life Planning Advisor.
Six years later, Jorge has helped hundreds of families across Greater Vancouver plan ahead with compassion and care — becoming our first-ever Hall of Excellence inductee along the way. 💚

Did you know that your loved one's ashes can be transformed into a diamond?
Through a Swiss memorial diamond company right here in Vancouver, a portion of their cremated remains is crafted into a one-of-a-kind stone. The rest can still be kept, buried, or scattered — your family decides.
Some set it in a ring. Some in a pendant. Some keep it close forever.
Plan for this ahead of time — so your family doesn't have to figure it out in the middle of grief.
