Common questions
What Saint-Léonard families ask
How much does direct cremation cost in Saint-Léonard?
In Saint-Léonard it's one fixed, all-inclusive price, with the transfer from Santa Cabrini or from the house, the cremation, the Quebec paperwork, an urn and the ashes brought to your door all inside it. Weekends cost the same. The quote is the bill.
See what's included and current pricingCan I arrange a cremation in Saint-Léonard without visiting a funeral home?
Yes, and usually in one sitting, at home. Nothing about a Saint-Léonard cremation needs you standing at a counter: we take the details by phone, send the authorization and permit forms to sign electronically, file them with Quebec, and tell you when each one clears. Port-Maurice or Saint-Léonard-Est, it's the same process.
How arranging cremation in Montreal worksHow soon can Cleo bring my loved one into care?
Waiting is the hardest part of the first day. Call at any hour and a person answers, and the transfer is arranged from there: whether your loved one is at Santa Cabrini Ospedale, in a residence, or at home where the CLSC de Saint-Léonard team has been coming. One number, day or night.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. There's no counter to stand at and no appointment to book. We take the arrangement over the phone, send the authorization and permits for electronic signature, and bring the ashes to your address once the cremation is done. Families in Port-Maurice, Grande-Prairie and both ends of the borough all arrange it this way.
We name the crematorium and the date for you before the day comes. The cremation takes place at an authorized facility in the Montreal area, so your loved one stays close to Saint-Léonard, and is identified by name and file at every handover.
Yes, and there's no single right shape for it. Families here gather at home or at a parish, keep the urn, or place it at Le Repos Saint-François d'Assise, the Catholic cemetery and columbarium about four kilometres south on rue Sherbrooke Est. If you're thinking about scattering in a borough park such as Parc Wilfrid-Bastien or Parc Ladauversière, the rules vary from place to place, so tell us what you have in mind and we'll find out what applies and walk you through it.
Yes. One price covers the transfer, the cremation, the government paperwork, an urn, and someone handing you the ashes in person. No weekend surcharge, no charge for the drive, nothing added at the end. If you decide you'd like a different urn or extra copies of a certificate, you see that cost in writing before you agree to it.
Yes. It comes up often here: one part of the family in Saint-Léonard, the rest somewhere else, or a parent who passed away while away from home. We arrange the transfer, deal with the authorities in both places, and bring the ashes back to you. Months afterward, if the QPP paperwork stalls, you can still call us.
