In Quebec, we use the terms “tombstone” and “funerary monument” as synonyms, to designate the stone placed above the grave in a cemetery. This stone is inscribed with the names and years of birth and death of the people buried on the lot. The stone, usually in granite or marble, is often decorated with designs that have a special meaning for the deceased or his or her loved ones. Finally, the funeral plaque is a simpler, less expensive option, often used for restricted spaces. It is placed directly at ground level, usually in front of a family headstone. The important thing to remember is that whatever your project, situation or budget, we’re here to help you make the choice that’s right for you.

A columbarium is a structure designed to house funerary urns containing the ashes of the deceased. Often integrated into a cemetery or memorial space, this facility allows families to gather in a peaceful, meaningful place. Columbariums can vary in style and materials, offering a personal touch that reflects the memory of those who lie there. Indeed, there are family columbariums ranging from one to four niches, as well as factory columbariums capable of housing over 60 urns in the same structure. By choosing a columbarium, you’re opting for an elegant, lasting solution to honor the lives of your loved ones, while preserving their memory and respecting their final wishes. Check with your cemetery to see if this type of installation is permitted. Some cemeteries do not allow it, since the urns are above ground level and not buried in the cemetery’s sacred soil.
