See exactly what's includedDirect cremation or a traditional funeral — what changes?
A direct cremation skips the embalming, viewing and ceremony a funeral home builds its package around — your loved one is cared for, cremated, and returned to you. You can still hold any memorial you wish, on your own terms and timeline. It's simpler and costs a fraction of a traditional service.
Compare cremation and a traditional funeralCan I arrange everything from outside Laval?
Yes. Many families coordinate from Montreal, elsewhere in Quebec, or another province. The paperwork, the choices and the payment are all handled by phone and online, in English or French, with a single point of contact — so no one has to drive to a funeral home to settle the details.

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.
- Funeral services and crematoriums in Quebec require a licence under the Funeral Operations Act (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 won't create a nuisance. On municipal land such as a Laval park, confirm the local rules first — we're glad to walk you through them.
