Mount Royal's Wildlife
This winter, a coyote was spotted on our site, arousing the interest and vigilance of visitors. The municipal authorities remind us of the importance of harmonious coexistence between humans and coyotes in urban environments.
Coyotes, although often perceived as a threat, play a crucial role within the urban ecosystem by controlling small mammal populations and contributing to biodiversity. In order to promote a peaceful coexistence, it is essential to not feed them and, as our Leave no trace policy indicates, to not leave litter or other sources of food on the cemetery’s site. Simply put, please avoid getting too close to the animal.
Cemetery management has already contacted City of Montréal authorities regarding the presence of a coyote and will make the necessary follow-ups.
We wish to remind visitors of Notre-Dame-des-Neiges Cemetery that pets are strictly forbidden on the site. By following these guidelines, we can all contribute to a peaceful and safe coexistence with urban wildlife.

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 is currently chosen by nearly 75% of Quebecers. There are many reasons to choose this option, including its simplicity and possibilities.
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.
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.
Anything is possible at Notre-Dame-des-Neiges; let us know your ideas for custom engravings for your loved one's monument.
Engravings are always done during the summer season, due to the temperature.
Exposed to the elements, your loved ones' monuments lose some of their luster over time. Honor your loved ones by restoring their monuments to their original glory. Our chemical-free technique leaves the engravings intact.
The Green Plan is the cemetery's ambitious project to take ecological action to help protect the environment and biodiversity of Mount Royal, a natural site incredibly rich in species of flora and fauna. Our green initiatives also aim to encourage everyone who visits the cemetery to take ecological action; no matter how small, it can have a major impact on the environment in the long term.
The Cemetery is a haven of tranquillity and biodiversity on Mount Royal. We ask all visitors to behave respectfully towards the site and its employees.
Please follow the rules and regulations of the Notre-Dame-des-Neiges Cemetery to ensure the safety of all visitors whilst remaining a haven of tranquillity.
