In the greater Montreal area, where a multitude of cultures, religions, and families from all walks of life coexist, funeral rites must be adaptable to each family. Cremation, which has become the preferred choice for many people, is an accessible solution that respects the beliefs of many.

At Crématorium Montréal, we do everything we can to offer accessible, simple, and affordable cremation services while respecting the religious or cultural traditions of the people we serve.

 

Understanding funeral traditions related to cremation

Cremation has been practiced for thousands of years in many cultures. Today, it still plays an important role in the funeral choices of many families, whether they are Hindu, Buddhist, secular, or honor other beliefs.

 

Cremation in Hindu traditions

In Hinduism, cremation is an essential step that allows the soul to continue its cycle of reincarnation. Families who practice Hinduism often recite mantras and perform symbolic gestures during funeral rites.

Crématorium Montréal offers specially designed rooms for contemplation, where personalized rituals can be held in the company of the deceased’s loved ones.

 

Cremation in Buddhist traditions

In Buddhist spirituality, cremation symbolizes the transition to a new state of existence. It is often accompanied by prayers, chants, or moments of meditation.

At Crématorium Montréal, we work with Buddhist celebrants to ensure an authentic ceremony that meets the family’s expectations.

 

Cremation and Catholic traditions

Now that cremation is recognized by the Catholic Church, this option is becoming increasingly popular in Quebec, even among Catholics. Families can hold a mass, liturgy, or ceremony before or after the cremation.

Crématorium Montréal also offers indoor columbarium niches or cemetery burial options, in accordance with Catholic rites.

 

Cremation and Muslim rites

Although cremation is not part of Muslim traditions, some families still wish to learn about this option in order to make an informed decision. Our team is here to offer respectful, nonjudgmental support to help them choose the type of disposition that is right for them.

 

Secular and modern cremation ceremonies

Nowadays, many families choose to hold a non-religious ceremony. Although these funeral rituals are not affiliated with any religion, they are nonetheless filled with love and meaning.

Our funeral services are fully customizable, allowing you to organize a meaningful secular service that reflects the personality of the deceased.
