Directeur de l'état civil du Québec · Permis d’entreprise de services funéraires — Loi sur les activités funéraires (Funeral Operations Act), RLRQ c. A-5.02
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.

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.
