Obituary

An obituary (or death notice) is a respectful public announcement written by the family or the funeral service provider to inform the community, friends, and acquaintances of a person’s passing. More than just a formal notification, it serves as a primary official tribute and provides essential details regarding the upcoming funeral arrangements.

Why Publish an Obituary?

In a diverse and sprawling area like the Greater Montreal Area, an obituary serves a vital social purpose:

  • Informing the Community: It helps reach extended circles (colleagues, former neighbors, long-time friends).
  • Sharing Funeral Details: It provides the dates, times, and locations for visitations, memorial services, or burials at any of our sites.
  • Suggesting Tributes: It is the ideal place to mention if the family prefers donations to local charities in lieu of flowers.
  • Telling a Story: A well-crafted obituary highlights significant milestones and celebrates the unique legacy of the deceased.
