Our professionals follow rigorous procedures to ensure compliance with current standards and the family’s peace of mind.

Family Support
Our team takes the time to meet with the family to plan the ceremony and present various solutions tailored to their needs.
At Complexe funéraire Lachance, family support is always provided in person, never solely remotely. An advisor will meet with you at the complex or a mutually agreed-upon location to listen to your situation, answer your questions, and clearly explain the funeral service options available to you.
These in-person meetings allow you to address, at your own pace, the organization of the funeral, cremation, tributes, and practical details, in an atmosphere of trust and respect. Our team guides you step by step to lighten the burden of decisions that need to be made. To schedule a meeting with an advisor, simply write to us or call us via the Contact Us page.
Cremation or Embalming
Our cremation technicians and embalmers care for each set of remains with the utmost respect, while rigorously adhering to all current standards and regulations.
At Complexe funéraire Lachance, the preparation of the deceased is entrusted to a specialized team in cremation and thanatopraxy (embalming). Our cremation technicians ensure the safe and dignified execution of each cremation, while our embalmers provide the necessary embalming care when a visitation or a ceremony with a casket is desired.
Each intervention is carried out with the utmost respect for the deceased and their family, in strict compliance with the standards and regulations in force in Quebec. These steps are an integral part of our funeral services and can be planned in advance in your last wishes, to lighten the decision-making burden for your loved ones.
Visitation and Ceremony
A final tribute can be organized directly in our funeral home. Several options are available to personalize this ceremony according to your wishes.
At Complexe funéraire Lachance, several visitation and ceremony options are available to you to pay a final tribute that respects your values and traditions. You can choose a visitation only at the funeral home, in a more subdued and intimate setting, or a visitation followed by a ceremony in our chapel, allowing loved ones to gather, share memories, and listen to personalized tributes. It is also possible to opt for a ceremony at a church or another place of worship, according to your rites and beliefs, while benefiting from our support for coordination and organization.
Our complex is also equipped with a reception hall where family and friends can gather after the ceremony to connect, support each other, and share a moment of comfort. All these options are part of our funeral services and can be adapted to your reality, your wishes, and your budget. You can also specify your preferences regarding visitation and ceremony in your last wishes. To discuss the options best suited to your situation or to schedule a meeting, please do not hesitate to contact us via the page Contact Us.
Final Disposition
Burial in a cemetery or columbarium placement.
The final disposition of ashes or the casket is an important step in the funeral process. At Complexe funéraire Lachance, several options are available to you: burial in a cemetery, columbarium placement, or keeping ashes at home, in accordance with the deceased’s wishes and current regulations. Our advisors will present you with options that align with our funeral services and our personalized approach.
For families who wish for a resting place in nature, it is also possible to opt for burial at the Joliette Ecological Cemetery, an environmentally friendly setting conducive to contemplation.
