What is a Prearranged Funeral Contract?
Funeral prearrangements allow you to plan your final wishes while you are alive, and to ensure that they are respected at the time of your death.
It is also a good way to share your wishes for your funeral with your loved ones. In your contract, you can specify the service that suits you (burial, cremation, etc.), the casket or urn of your choice, your interest in a religious or secular funeral, etc.—all while respecting your budget.
The prearrangements consist of two contracts between you and Notre-Dame-des-Neiges:
- The prearranged funeral services contract includes all goods and services rendered surrounding the passing, except for the grave and its maintenance. For example, the cremation, the urn, and the ceremony can be included in this contract.
- The contract for the advance purchase of a grave includes the purchase of a cemetery plot, a columbarium space or a crypt, as well as its maintenance.
Prearranged Funeral Benefits
- At the time of your passing, the prearranged funeral contract you signed will spare your loved ones from having to make emotional, and sometimes stressful, decisions at an already difficult time for them.
- Unlike most cemeteries in the greater Montréal area, Notre-Dame-des-Neiges cemetery still has many available plots. We also have many spaces at your disposal in our mausoleums and columbaria.
- Prearrangements also alleviate potential financial stress for your loved ones, since you are paying for your own funeral.
- In your prearrangements, you can also include space for your loved ones to ensure that you are together when the time comes.
- By making your prearrangements today, you are also protecting yourself from potentially higher funeral costs caused by inflation—purchasing a service at today’s price for the future is a wise financial decision.
- It is the safest way to ensure that your wishes are respected at the time of your death. The Act respecting arrangements for funeral services and sepultures governs this sector and ensures compliance with the contract and the protection of the amounts paid and deposited in trust.
The directors of seniors residences can also call on us for a group presentation.

Our Products & Services
In-Ground Burials
Thanks to its exceptional location on Mount Royal, Notre-Dame-des-Neiges Cemetery has hundreds of acres of land with space for many plots for years to come.
Eco-Friendly Options
Bury your loved one in one of our eco-friendly groves which involves the burial of biodegradable urns under saplings guaranteed to grow into beautiful trees. The deceased's ashes are thus returned to nature, and generations to come can gather around the growing tree, chosen from a selection of native species adapted to the area's environment.
Cremation
Cremation is currently chosen by nearly 75% of Quebecers. There are many reasons to choose this option, including its simplicity and possibilities.
Mausoleums
Mausoleums are large buildings that offer different alternatives to in-ground burials. They house many crypts and indoor columbaria, allowing families to visit their loved ones year-round, regardless of the weather.
