Louise Ritchie
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Louise Ritchie on Sunday, June 28, 2026.
She is survived by her daughter Sandrine (Sylvain), her son David (Julie), as well as her mother Georgette, her sister Nathaly, and her brother Sylvain. She also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends who will remember her as a joyful, loving, and authentic person.
The family invites you to celebrate Louise’s life on Sunday, August 30, 2026, between 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. at the Forêt de la Seconde Vie. A white oak will be planted there in her memory, growing as a lasting testament to her love and strength. Reflecting Louise’s spirit, the celebration will be held outdoors, so please wear comfortable clothing in natural colors.
In memory of Louise, those who wish may express their sympathy with a donation to QuébecOiseaux, an organization actively working toward the conservation of birds and their habitats. The family wishes to sincerely thank everyone for their support and comfort during this difficult time.
What is the Second Life Forest?
Ecoforest cemetery
The Forest of the Second Life is a Ecoforest cemetery; an alternative solution to traditional funeral homes that allows you to contribute to the creation of forests, in tribute to the memory of your loved ones and for the benefit of future generations.
Unique concept in Quebec
We are up to date The only location in Quebec, among all those who have the necessary authorizations for the burial of the ashes, to have added to our project a forest conservation easement to ensure, forever, the preservation and protection of the forest.
Future generations
Our alternative funeral services allow you to pay tribute to your deceased by allowing them to dedicate their second life to the benefit of the next generations. The reforestation initiative The Second Life Forest makes it possible to capture up to 175 tons of carbon from the atmosphere each year.
