Burial in a Crypt or Columbarium
Interment in a columbarium is when a cinerary urn is placed in a niche. Columbaria can be indoors (in a mausoleum) or outdoors. Niches in an indoor columbarium can be glazed, allowing the urn to be accompanied by decorative items or photographs reminiscent of the deceased. Like crypts, niches in an outdoor columbarium can be personalized with engraving and ornaments.
Crypt interment is the insertion of a casket into a crypt, inside a mausoleum, which provides an indoor space for meditation protected from the elements. The outer surface of the crypt can then be personalized with engravings and ornaments.

Mausoleums are large buildings that offer an alternative to burial. They house many crypts and indoor columbaria, allowing families to visit their loved ones year-round, regardless of the weather.
Our site has 10 mausoleums. The most recent ones, Esther Blondin and Eulalie Durocher, still have many spaces available and offer many benefits:
Esther Blondin Mausoleum
It’s a warm and bright place. The large windows offer magnificent views of the surrounding nature and Saint Joseph’s Oratory. It offers crypts for interment and columbaria for urns.
Eulalie Durocher Mausoleum
It’s a place of serenity and comfort, in a modern setting that encourages reflection. It offers crypts for interment and columbaria for urns.
Private mausoleums
There is also an option to acquire a plot of land to build a private mausoleum according to your architectural plans. We will advise you on the land available. Private mausoleums provide space for several crypts and niches.
These mausoleums become a unique place of reflection for you and your loved ones, personalized according to your tastes and needs.

Thanks to its exceptional location on Mount Royal, Notre-Dame-des-Neiges Cemetery has a large surface area that allows it to offer many plots even today.
Burial in a columbarium allows the insertion of an urn in a niche; burial in a crypt allows the insertion of a coffin in a dedicated space in a mausoleum.
Because we know that your loved ones are not forgotten, we offer several memorial services and items to honor their memory.
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.
Inspired by the nature of Mount Royal, we have developed eco-friendly options to allow people to make their final gesture kind to the planet.
