Cemeteries in Laval
Laval has a mix of large non-sectarian, Catholic, Jewish and municipal cemeteries alongside older church and village burial grounds. Larger cemeteries publish formal monument regulations and approval forms; smaller ones may keep simpler rules — ask either way, and get them in writing.
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 rules guide lists what to ask.
Climate and durability in Laval
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. Allow time for design approval and production — see our ordering timeline.
French and bilingual inscriptions
French and bilingual French–English inscriptions are common in Laval. Send the exact wording with every accent and check the proof carefully — see our bilingual inscriptions guide.

Often closely. Send clear daylight photos and measurements of the existing stone; exact matches with decades-old granite aren't always possible, and we'll suggest the closest option.
