Common questions
What Saint-Laurent families ask
How much does direct cremation cost in Saint-Laurent?
In Saint-Laurent, Cleo charges one fixed, all-inclusive price — no à-la-carte list, no weekend surcharge, no surprise line on the final bill. It covers bringing your loved one into care, the cremation, all government paperwork, a dignified urn, and personal delivery of the ashes. The number we quote is the number you pay.
See what's included and current pricingCan I arrange everything from outside Saint-Laurent — even from abroad?
Yes. Saint-Laurent is one of Montreal's most international communities, and families often coordinate from another province or another country. Cleo handles a cremation entirely by phone and online — forms, permits, and updates all come to you, wherever you are — so no one has to fly in just to sign paperwork.
How to arrange a cremation remotelyWhat are the first steps after a death in Saint-Laurent?
Call us first — a real person answers any hour. Whether your loved one passed away at home, at the CHSLD de Saint-Laurent on Boulevard de la Côte-Vertu, or at Hôpital du Sacré-Cœur just past the borough's northern edge, we arrange transport into our care, usually within about four hours, and walk you through what Quebec requires next.
What to do when someone passes away in QuebecWill we be served in our own language?
Yes. In a borough where dozens of languages are spoken at home, no family should have to navigate a death in their second language. Cleo's care team works fully in French and English — every call, form, and document in the language you choose, at a pace that never feels rushed.

What families say about Cleo
Compliance & transparency
Licensed, compliant, and transparent
Directeur de l’état civil du Québec · Permis d’entreprise de services funéraires (Loi sur les activités funéraires)
Every death and cremation in Quebec follows a clear legal process — and Cleo handles all of it for Saint-Laurent 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 records the death and issues the official act of death.
- Under Quebec's Act respecting funeral activities, a cremation may take place only at an authorized crematorium operated by a licensed funeral services business — 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.
- Thinking about scattering or interment? We'll explain what Quebec allows — from a quiet spot like the Boisé du Parc Marcel-Laurin to interment at Cimetière Notre-Dame-des-Neiges just south of the borough — so you can plan with confidence.
