Châteauguay does have funeral homes, some with their own crematorium — but with Cleo you don't need to visit one. We collect your loved one anywhere in the city, carry out the cremation at a certified partner crematorium, and bring the ashes back to your home. Everything is arranged by phone or online.

Yes. Cleo was built for exactly this — you arrange the entire cremation from home, by phone or online, in English or French. That matters in Châteauguay, where roughly a quarter to a third of residents speak English at home. A real person guides you through every step, day or night.
