Cremation services in Terrebonne
Whether your mother passed away at Hôpital Pierre-Le Gardeur on montée des Pionniers, at La Maison Adhémar-Dion in Lachenaie, or at home in Vieux-Terrebonne, the next step is the same: one call to Cleo. We bring her into our care, file every form, and bring her ashes back to you, at one fixed, all-inclusive price.
Common questions
What Terrebonne families ask
What does a direct cremation in Terrebonne cost?
Asking the price first is not cold, it is how you protect your family. Cleo's direct cremation is one fixed, all-inclusive price, the same in La Plaine as in Lachenaie: transport, the cremation, the paperwork and an urn are in it. The number you hear on the phone is the number on the bill, weekends included.
See exactly what's includedIs there a crematorium in Terrebonne?
Nobody knows the answer to that until the week they need it, and it changes nothing for you. Cleo books an authorized crematorium and arranges the transfer from wherever your loved one is now, Hôpital Pierre-Le Gardeur or CHSLD de la Côte Boisée included. The rest happens by phone, and the ashes come back to you in person.
See how the process worksCan I arrange a cremation from outside Terrebonne?
You can do all of this from wherever you are standing right now. A real person answers 24/7 in French or English, takes the details once, and arranges the pickup in Lachenaie, La Plaine or Vieux-Terrebonne while you deal with flights and family. Neither the forms nor the payment needs you in the room.

Licensing & compliance
Licensed, compliant, and accountable
Directeur de l'état civil du Québec · Permis d'entreprise de services funéraires (Loi sur les activités funéraires)
Cremation in Quebec is tightly regulated, and that's reassuring. Here's who oversees it and how Cleo stays inside every rule.
- Every death in Quebec is declared to the Directeur de l'état civil, who registers it and issues the death certificate. Cleo files this paperwork on your family's behalf. We stay on for months afterward, closing out the remaining paperwork, the QPP death benefit, and the loose ends that surface weeks later.
- Funeral services in Quebec require a business permit under the Loi sur les activités funéraires. Cleo works only with licensed providers and certified crematoriums.
- Quebec law lets families divide or scatter ashes as they wish, as long as it's done with dignity and isn't a nuisance. We can walk you through the rules before you decide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Call (438) 817-1770 at any hour and a real person picks up. We can be on the way quickly, and we handle the release directly with the team looking after your loved one: a unit at Hôpital Pierre-Le Gardeur, the staff at La Maison Adhémar-Dion, or the care team at CHSLD de la Côte Boisée. At home in La Plaine or Vieux-Terrebonne, we come to you. There is nobody you need to call first.
Not for a direct cremation with Cleo. Embalming is not part of the service and nobody here will push it on you as an add-on. If your family wants time with your loved one beforehand, say so on your first call and we will go through the options together. Nothing reaches your bill unless you chose it.
There is no deadline on this one, so take the time you want. If a place is already in your mind, it may be the Rivière des Mille Îles, Parc de la Rivière de Terrebonne or Île-des-Moulins. Other families prefer Cimetière Saint-Louis-de-France, or keeping the ashes at home. What is allowed depends on the exact spot and who owns it, so tell us where you are thinking and we will check it before you go.
Yes, and you will not have to ask twice. Whoever answers at (438) 817-1770 works in the language you start in, and that holds for the forms, the government filings and every call after. Households that switch between French and English at the kitchen table do the same with us.
Yes. Planning ahead holds today's fixed price and takes the heaviest decisions off the people you love: one call from them later, instead of a list of choices in their worst week. You can set it up by phone or online, and you are not required to settle everything today. It is the same all-inclusive service, arranged early.
Terrebonne itself, Vieux-Terrebonne, Lachenaie and La Plaine included, plus Mascouche, Repentigny, Charlemagne, Bois-des-Filion, Lorraine and Rosemère. If you sit just outside that list, call anyway: the fixed, all-inclusive price does not move with the postal code, and neither does the service.
