The time to call us after the battle of a lifetime…
Crématorium Montréal supporting the CHSLDs
The Crématorium Montréal is more operational than ever to support the CHSLDs. We are the last responders in the essential health care services sector and we are here to make arrangements for the deceased with the greatest consideration and respect.
Our dedication to the Québec community is of the utmost importance and we are here to take over the care of the deceased with the utmost sensitivity at the time of imminent deaths. Since the CHSLDs have a lot to do, our service aims to help them by looking after the entire funeral process, from transferring the body to the follow-up with the bereaved families. Our team is committed and proactive in this great historical emergency, and all in accordance with the strictest and best health practices.
It is by working together that we can protect our community with strength and determination. This has never been a more challenging era for residential and long-term care centres and we want to contribute, with compassion, toward helping and supporting Québec families.
Crématorium Montréal handles everything so that you can continue your daily battle against the disease. In this time of crisis, cremation fortunately requires no travelling for the families of the deceased, and that is what we offer—in 13 languages—to support all communities in the Greater Montréal area.
Our hearts go out to you.

Cremation, a Flexible and Accessible Solution
In this time of global pandemic, it is normal to reflect on our options and even to rethink or make a will. The present situation is prompting us to ask ourselves questions earlier in our life—questions that we maybe never have dared to think about before. Questions such as: Should I choose cremation? What do I want done with my body after I die? It is important to plan for this choice as part of your last wishes and therefore ease the burden on grieving loved ones. In the great world histories, talking about death was essential and was not seen as out of place or horrible, but rather as being inevitable for the sustainability and harmony of a society.
History of cremation
In many ancient cultures, cremation was a well-accepted community solution for the many benefits it has to offer. Cremation is the funeral process of burning and reducing to ashes the body of a deceased human being. Nowadays, with the equipment used, it makes it possible to decently and hygienically reduce the body to ashes. Although cremation is not well regarded by all religions, it is still a solution to a necessity that has always existed: the need to look after the deceased’s body. Once seen as being contrary to the Christian faith, cremation is no longer contradictory to religious practice. Institutionalized in Asia thanks to Buddhism and Hinduism, it is also very popular in the Western world. Practised more and more in our social circles, it is no longer something to be rejected, but rather to be considered as part of one’s personal reflections.
For the past few decades, cremation has been carried out in crematoriums and is cited as an ecological and even hygienic option. Nowadays, cremation is a flexible, accessible and less expensive solution, enabling the body of the deceased to be disposed of in a respectful manner.
