Cremation services: 10 questions to help you find the right one for you
Are you looking for cremation services in Montreal? When a loved one passes away, grief is often accompanied by a host of decisions that must be made in a very short period of time.
These 10 key questions will help you make an informed choice while learning about the cremation services offered by Crématorium Montréal.
1. Did the person make funeral prearrangements?
This is the first question to ask. If the deceased had made funeral prearrangements, they likely already chose a funeral establishment and indicated their wishes regarding cremation, an urn, or even the ceremony.
By planning your final arrangements in advance, you give your loved ones a precious gift: peace of mind. If you haven’t already done so, we invite you to make your funeral prearrangements online with Crématorium Montréal. It’s simple, fast, and secure.
2. Where are you located in Quebec?
Proximity is an important factor when planning the cremation of a deceased loved one. Crématorium Montréal is located in the borough of Saint-Laurent, at the intersection of highways 40 and 15 (Laurentides highway), in Montreal.
This central location makes it easily accessible for families from:
- Ville Saint-Laurent
- Ahuntsic-Cartierville
- Laval
- Montréal-Nord
- Côte-des-Neiges
- Longueuil
- Montréal’s North Shore and South Shore
Our strategic location simplifies travel and allows us to offer quick support to families throughout the greater Montréal area.

The cost of cremation services in Montreal varies depending on the options chosen (direct cremation, ceremony, type of urn, etc.). At Crématorium Montréal, we believe that everyone deserves a dignified tribute, regardless of their situation.
That’s why we are committed to offering:
- Fair and transparent pricing.

4. Would you like to organize a celebration of life?
While some choose direct cremation without a ceremony, others prefer to organize a funeral cremation ceremony to mark the passing of their loved one.
Crématorium Montréal offers a multipurpose celebration hall designed to accommodate religious or secular ceremonies, symbolic rituals, and personalized tributes.
This room offers a warm and intimate atmosphere. You can play music in it and decorate it with photos, meaningful objects, or flowers.
5. Do you have specific rituals to follow?
Montreal is a city enriched by its cultural diversity. Each family has its own traditions, beliefs, and values. At Crématorium Montréal, we are committed to honoring diversity by offering services tailored to all cultures and religions.
Our multilingual team can assist you in 13 languages, including French, English, Arabic, Spanish, Greek, Vietnamese, Creole, and many others. We are also able to organize ceremonies adapted to each person’s religious or secular rituals.
6. What type of urn would you like to use to preserve the ashes?
The choice of urn is both symbolic and practical. At Crématorium Montréal, you will find a wide variety of urns suitable for home storage, columbarium placement, or cemetery burial. We even offer biodegradable urns for an eco-friendly burial.
We also offer personalized urns available in several materials, including wood, ceramic, and various metals.
7. How would you like the ashes to be disposed of?
In Quebec, it is possible to scatter the ashes of a deceased person, as long as they do not cause a nuisance to others and the scattering is not done in a manner that could compromise the dignity of the deceased.
Crématorium Montréal offers two options for disposition: keeping the urn in a columbarium niche or burying the ashes in a cemetery. The columbarium is a peaceful and serene place where urns can be displayed. Families can visit this resting place to commemorate their loved ones.
Crématorium Montréal also offers the option of burying ashes in a private cemetery on the South Shore or North Shore of Montreal. There are three burial options available.
Our team is here to guide you in finding the best option for disposing of ashes based on your needs.
8. Would you like to create a memorial item with the ashes?
Some people wish to keep a tangible reminder of their loved one. Crématorium Montréal offers a variety of memorial options:
- Memorial jewelry.
- Reliquary stones, exclusive to Crématorium Montréal.
- PHX-Infinity, which transforms ashes into a unique and personalized work of art.
These keepsakes allow you to preserve a connection with your loved one, like an anchor to which you can return when you feel the need.
