A human funeral approach

Some testimonies

“By creating forests in this way, funeral practices are being transformed into a powerful legacy for future generations. We are in fact giving an ecological meaning to mourning.”

“It soothes me to have such a quiet and sweet place for my daughter, a place where I can watch her grow through her tree. Our family felt at home, such a powerful human experience. ️”

“It's a beautiful place, more positive and warm compared to what you find in cemeteries. So it's more pleasant to come back and see the person who left us.”

In the event that you have the ashesOf a loved one at home

We have thought of a solution for you!

The serene woodland is a forest area specially reserved for people who have the ashes of a loved one at home. This forest massif has a varied flora and fauna with the presence of trees with variable growth.

This option does not allow access to the memorial cloud, but does offer the possibility of dispersing the ashes in an environment that respects the dignity of the deceased person.

Our site is protected by a forest protection easement, so all the trees are rooted are protected in perpetuity.

Real servitude gives legal (legal) life to the nature present on the site and to that to come (rootings), and therefore it simultaneously protects the ecological heritage (trees and natural environments) and cultural heritage (burials).

The annual monitoring will make it possible to periodically verify the integrity of nature on the site and to ensure the sustainability of the heritage to be bequeathed to future generations.

Note that section 71 of the Quebec Funeral Activities Act mentions that “no one may scatter human ashes where they could constitute a nuisance or in a manner that does not respect the dignity of the deceased person.”

We have all the ministerial authorizations necessary to comply with this law.
