Cemetery rules in Quebec
Quebec has a long tradition of parish cemeteries and grand urban cemeteries such as Notre-Dame-des-Neiges and Mount Royal in Montreal. Most inscriptions are in French, often with English or another family language.
In Quebec, funeral and cemetery activities are governed by the Act respecting funeral operations, and each cemetery — many of them parish or church-run — sets its own rules on monuments and installation.
Our cemetery headstone rules guide lists the questions to ask, and we size every design to your cemetery's written by-laws.
Climate and durability
Snowy winters and spring thaw
Quebec winters bring deep snow, hard frost and a long spring thaw. Dense, polished granite resists freeze-thaw damage, and deep-cut lettering stays legible — important for French accents and longer inscriptions.
When headstones are installed
Spring-to-autumn installation
Most cemeteries install monuments from spring, once the ground has firmed, until late autumn. Many families order over the winter for a spring installation. If the burial was recent, many cemeteries also want the ground to settle first — see how long to wait after burial.
French and bilingual inscriptions
Many families in Quebec choose French or bilingual French–English inscriptions. Accents (é, è, ç, ô) must be kept, including on capital letters. See our bilingual inscriptions guide.
Delivering to Quebec
Every monument is made in our own factory and delivered door-to-door under DAP terms — to the cemetery, a local monument dealer or an address you choose. We coordinate delivery timing with the cemetery or installer. Read how DAP delivery works.
