Every death and cremation in Quebec follows a clear legal process — and Cleo takes care of all of it for Côte-des-Neiges families, correctly and in plain language.
- We file the declaration of death with the Directeur de l'état civil du Québec, the provincial registrar that prepares the official act of death.
- The cremation takes place only at a licensed Quebec crematorium, under the Funeral Operations Act (Loi sur les activités funéraires, A-5.02), with careful identification throughout.
- Quebec's consumer-protection rules require a clear, detailed price list. Ours is fixed and all-inclusive, given to you in writing before you decide anything.
- If your family is considering interment on Mount Royal — at Notre-Dame-des-Neiges, Canada's largest cemetery, right here in Côte-des-Neiges, or at neighbouring Mount Royal Cemetery — we'll explain what Quebec allows so you can plan with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cleo's direct cremation in Côte-des-Neiges is a single, fixed, all-inclusive price rather than a long itemized bill. It covers transportation, the cremation, all Quebec paperwork, a basic urn, and hand-delivery of the ashes. Because prices vary by province, we publish the current figure on our pricing page — and the written quote is exactly what you pay, with no hidden fees.
We personally hand-deliver the ashes to your Côte-des-Neiges home, typically within five to seven business days. If you would prefer to receive them somewhere else, or on a particular day, just let us know and we will arrange it.
Many Côte-des-Neiges families choose the green slopes of Mount Royal, or interment at Notre-Dame-des-Neiges — Canada's largest cemetery, right in the neighbourhood — or at neighbouring Mount Royal Cemetery. Quebec permits scattering ashes as long as it is done discreetly and respectfully and causes no nuisance; on private land you need the owner's permission. We're glad to talk through the options.
