Immediate Cremation Services Available in Montreal and Surrounding Areas

If someone has passed away and you need to arrange a cremation service, 1-800-Cremation is here for you. We offer immediate cremation services in Montreal. Contact us to talk to one of our funeral directors about arranging the cremation service.

Death at Home

Your first step should be calling 9-1-1. Urgence Santé (Québec) will come to the house and sign an Attestation of Death (SP-3). If the death was expected, be sure to mention this when speaking with the 9-1-1 operator. This will avoid unnecessary lights and sirens when they arrive.

A family physician may also come to your house to sign and prepare an Attestation of Death but he/she may not be available if the death occurs at night. If the death is expected, you might want to discuss this with your physician in advance.

Once the attestation is completed, contact us and we will arrange for the immediate transfer of your loved to the safekeeping of the Mount Royal Crematorium.

Death in a Hospital

If a death occurs in a hospital, nursing home, or any other institution, contact us as soon as possible . Our funeral director will contact the institution to get permission to transfer your loved one to the funeral home once the Attestation of Death has been signed.

Meeting Your Cremation Professional

Presumably, when calling to inform us of the death of your loved one, a cremation planning meeting will also be scheduled. During the course of your cremation planning meeting, our counsellor will take note of all information necessary to complete a Declaration of Death for the Québec government. Our counsellor will also complete all logistical arrangements to conclude the following:

Remember to have all legal documents, health insurance card, and other pertinent information ready before your meeting.
