Cremation Service
Cremation is a respectful process, carried out by a certified operator in a compliant furnace, with all due care and dignity for the deceased.
What does cremation involve?
Cremation is a multi-step process. The body is first cremated in a specialized furnace that adheres to strict environmental standards. Then, the ashes are carefully prepared, placed in the chosen urn, and then returned to the family for disposition according to the deceased’s wishes.
Cremation
Cremation involves a process of body disposition by fire using a specialized crematorium furnace that operates on natural gas and complies with current environmental standards. Cremation is, of course, performed by a certified operator.
Ash Preparation
The preparation of ashes is the second step of cremation, during which the operator ensures that all metal parts (e.g., prostheses) are removed using a specially designed magnet. Then, they transform the bone fragments collected during cremation into ashes using specialized equipment. Furthermore, they are also responsible for placing the deceased’s ashes into the pre-selected urn, as well as into reliquaries if applicable. Each urn, reliquary, or piece of jewelry containing ashes is identified by a unique number assigned to the deceased.
Ash Disposition
After the ashes are returned, several options are available for their disposition, depending on your loved one’s wishes or family traditions.
You can choose to inter them in our cemetery, place them in an indoor or outdoor columbarium, or scatter them in a meaningful location. Our team is here to support you in this choice, with full attentiveness and sensitivity.
Why choose cremation?
Cremation offers a simple, flexible, and discreet alternative to traditional funeral rites. It allows you to pay tribute to a loved one while providing great freedom regarding the disposition of the ashes: interment, scattering, preservation in an urn, or transformation into a reliquary.
It can also address ecological, spiritual, or cultural considerations specific to each family.
Facilitating the Grieving Process
All professionals involved in grief and bereavement agree that saying a final goodbye to a loved one, especially after embalming that brings serenity to the body by erasing signs of suffering and illness, helps acknowledge the reality of death.
Our many years of experience also lead us to recommend viewing the body, even if it is eventually followed by cremation. You can experience this step in the privacy of the immediate family or in the presence of extended family and friends who will offer you support and comfort.
Choosing the Final Resting Place
The final resting place reflects the values, wishes, and life journey of the deceased. Whether in an indoor or outdoor columbarium, or through the interment of ashes in the cemetery, we will assist you in finding the place that will honor their memory with dignity.
Scattering Garden
More and more families are choosing to scatter the ashes of a loved one in nature. Our scattering garden offers a specially designed space for contemplation. Surrounded by calm and greenery, this symbolic place allows you to perform this meaningful gesture in an environment imbued with serenity, reflecting the departed loved one.
Indoor Columbarium
Outdoor Columbarium
Located near the main mausoleum, our outdoor columbarium offers a dignified and secure resting place. The niches are sealed with a granite plaque engraved with the deceased’s name, similar to a cemetery, but with increased protection for the urns. Some niches allow visibility from both the inside and the outside. This outdoor place of remembrance combines simplicity and respect, while offering various options depending on the desired location and size.
Interment of Ashes in the Cemetery
We offer the possibility of interring ashes in a peaceful and respectful setting. On our vast property, four distinct locations are available to you: the Garden of Doves, the Way of the Cross, a designated spot, or an undesignated spot according to your preferences. It is also possible to inter the ashes in the cemetery of your choice. Each option allows for a personalized tribute, in accordance with your values and budget.
