OUR HISTORY

A rapidly changing environment

In the early 2000s, traditional funeral services evolved to meet the new expectations of families, who were increasingly looking for simplicity, transparency, and accessibility. It was in this context that Actuel Funeral Services was founded in 2004. Inspired by nearly 40 years of involvement in the funeral industry, its management chose to take a different approach: offering affordable and accessible services with no hidden costs, while maintaining impeccable quality. From the outset, the company distinguished itself through its attentiveness, its community roots, and its desire to modernize the funeral experience in Quebec.
2010

The opening of the first premises in Verdun

Until 2010, services were offered by appointment only. During this period, clients preferred cremation, and meetings took place at home or by telephone. With growing demand, Actuel opened a location in southwest Montreal, in the heart of the Verdun neighborhood. This head office also houses a showroom and a reception hall for more traditional ceremonies.
2011

The affordability of prearranged funeral services

In 2011, the company expanded its offering to include prearranged funeral plans. This solution meets a growing need among families who wish to plan their funerals in advance, offering peace of mind and financial security.
2013

Launch of the Transportation Division

In 2013, Actuel expanded its operations and created a division specializing in the transportation of the deceased. This service is offered to its own customers and other funeral homes, with the same rigor and respect.
2017

Modernization and online services

Since 2017, the company has continued to modernize by developing its website. Families can now complete several procedures online, simplifying the organization of remote services.
2021

Acquisition of Crématel and expansion into the Laurentians

In 2021, Actuel acquired Crématel, a well-known funeral home in the Laurentians. Following a reorganization, the banner moved to Saint-Jérôme, thereby expanding its presence in Quebec.
