Support in the Event of Death

MD Cimetiere Notre Dame 032

We're with you every step of the way. Your advisor will guide you through the various stages and ensure your needs are heard and met.


The First Steps

Call 911.

 

Your local ambulance service will come to your home to pronounce the death and prepare the death certificate. The deceased person’s physician may also come to prepare and sign this document. If you know that the passing is imminent, take the time to discuss the procedure with the doctor.

 

Once the death certificate is signed, contact us at 514 735-1361 (toll free: 1 888 735-1361). A counsellor will guide you through the steps to follow.

If the death occurs in a place other than at home, such as a hospital, a long-term care centre or a hospice, contact us as soon as possible at 514 735-1361 (toll-free: 1 888 735-1361).

Please note that, as a special exception, the cemetery offices will be open on September 21. The Notre-Dame-des-Neiges Cemetery will be closed from September 23 to 27 due to the Grands Prix Cyclistes de Montréal event. If you have any questions, please visit the website 2026 UCI Road World Championships.
 

Thank you for your understanding.
