Although crematories are licensed under the Cemeteries Act and the Crematory Regulation, they are not restricted to cemetery locations. However, local zoning by-laws must allow the proposed location. If you are applying in person, you can pay this fee using Visa, MasterCard or cash. This fee is for a one-year licence that expires March 31 of every year.
Licences take effect the date they are issued.
The department will send you a notice and the appropriate forms before your licence needs to be renewed. Licence holders must notify Alberta Government Services in writing if the address on their business licence changes. This can be provided in a letter from the Authority. This can be provided in a letter from the appropriate municipal governing body. Contact your local Alberta Environment office.
