Frequently Asked Questions about Azur Funeral Services and Simple Cremation
Who is Azur Funeral Services?
Azur Funeral Services is a Quebec-based company specializing in simple cremation and essential funeral services, offered throughout Quebec. Our mission is to offer a simple, respectful, and accessible alternative to families who do not wish for large traditional funerals.
Do you only offer simple cremation?
Yes. We are exclusively dedicated to simple cremation and the mandatory procedures associated with it. We do not offer funerals with viewings or large ceremonies in funeral homes. Families remain free to organize, in their own way, a moment of remembrance at home, in a church, or elsewhere.
What is the difference compared to a traditional funeral home?
A traditional funeral home generally offers visitations, viewings, parlors, complete ceremonies, and receptions. On our part, we focus on essential cremation services : care of the deceased, administrative procedures, simple cremation, and delivery of ashes. This allows for cost reduction and gives the family the freedom to organize the type of ceremony they wish, if they so desire.
Are there viewings or ceremonies with Azur Funeral Services?
No. We do not organize viewings or funeral home ceremonies. Our role is to assist you with the cremation and administrative procedures, and then to return the ashes to the family. You can then organize an intimate tribute or a personalized celebration, at a time that suits you.
How does the simple cremation process unfold?
The process is generally as follows:
- You contact our team to notify us of the death or to learn about simple cremation options.
- We take care of the deceased and clearly explain the next steps to you.
- We complete the administrative formalities and proceed with the cremation, according to the regulations in force in Quebec.
- The ashes are returned to the family, often in a basic urn, and we remain available to answer your questions.
In which regions of Quebec do you offer your services?
Our simple cremation services are offered throughout Quebec, depending on the areas served by our network. When you call, we quickly verify your city or region and confirm the applicable terms and deadlines.
How much do your simple cremation services cost?
Our simple cremation services are offered starting from a competitive base rate, to which certain options may be added depending on the region and needs (additional transport, chosen urn, supplementary documents, etc.). We always explain prices transparently, before any decision, to avoid unpleasant surprises.
Do you offer pre-arranged funeral plans?
Yes. You can make your pre-arranged funeral plans with Azur Funeral Services to plan simple cremation and essential services in advance, while protecting your loved ones from difficult decisions and sudden expenses at the time of death.
Are the funds paid for pre-arrangements protected?
Yes. In Quebec, funds related to pre-need funeral arrangement contracts are governed by law. The amounts are deposited according to legal requirements, and Azur Funeral Services is registered with the Office de la protection du consommateur (OPC). This structure aims to protect consumers and ensure the traceability of funds paid.
Is it possible to have a ceremony even if I choose simple cremation?
Of course. Choosing simple cremation with Azur Funeral Services does not prevent the family from organizing a moment of remembrance. You can, for example, hold a ceremony at home, in a rented hall, outdoors, or in a place of worship. Our model aims to give you more freedom and flexibility, without imposing a traditional framework.
What happens to the urn and ashes after cremation?
The ashes are returned to the family in a basic urn or in an urn chosen from the options offered. You can then keep the urn, place it in a columbarium, inter it in a cemetery, or scatter the ashes, respecting the applicable rules in your region. We can guide you on the most common options in Quebec.
Can you assist us if the death occurs at night or on the weekend?
Yes. A team is available to answer your calls, reassure you, and explain the initial steps, even outside of business hours. We clearly indicate what to do and when, so that you are not alone in making decisions.
How can I speak to someone to learn about the options and prices?
You can contact our team directly by phone, email, or via our online form. A counselor will take the time to explain the steps of simple cremation, the costs, possible pre-arrangements, and the options that apply to your situation, without pressure.
