FAQ – Our funeral services and prices

Is it possible to pay funeral expenses with the $2500 death benefit paid by Retraite Québec?

Unfortunately not, as the amount reimbursed to eligible persons is a reimbursement and proof of payment is required. The death benefit cannot be paid directly to a funeral home. It is used primarily to reimburse the applicant’s funeral expenses or will be paid to the heirs. Please note that we will prepare a pre-filled form with proof of payment for you to send by mail, and we will also provide you with the information to apply for the benefit online.

Does your funeral home only offer cremation services?

No, we offer all the services of a traditional funeral home, including thanatopraxy (embalming). Whether you need a funeral procession with a casket and hearse, a viewing at the funeral home or a direct cremation, our packages will meet all your needs at the best prices on the market.

Will the deceased be cremated alone?

Yes, we cremate one person at a time, and you can be sure that the ashes given to you are those of your loved one.

Do I need to notify the government of the death?

All our packages include the declaration of death to the government. It may take a few months for the ministries to process the declaration, but you don’t have to declare the death to government institutions we’ll do that for you. You will, however, need to notify public corporations, such as financial institutions, of the death.

Will you be ordering a copy of the death certificate?

We will prepare a pre-filled form with a self-addressed envelope for the Directeur de l’État Civil to send by mail. We’ll also give you the information you need to make the request online.

Do you serve all regions of Quebec?

Yes, we serve all of Quebec. Even if there is a small additional charge for the extra km, our prices are still mostly lower than those for regions farther from our office.

Do you deliver ashes?

Yes, we deliver the ashes and can mail them anywhere you wish. Find out more about our cremation services in Montréal.

If I purchase a prearrangement, will the price increase upon death?

No, the price is not subject to inflation and is guaranteed. In addition, 90% of the amount paid will be safely deposited in trust. We really do pride ourselves in offering low costs funerals, because we understand that during such a time, financial stress is the last thing anyone needs.

How can I expect to receive my pre-arrangement trust letter?

Normally, you will receive your trust letter within 3 and a half months of your payment.
