What this site is

The Quebec Funeral Guide is an independent information service. It lists funeral service businesses that hold a permit in Quebec and provides explanatory content on the steps, options, and costs related to a death.

The site is operated by [legal entity name], established in Quebec.

Our independence

We are not affiliated with any funeral business, network, or industry group. We accept no commission, advertising, or funding from funeral businesses.

We are also not a government body and do not act on behalf of any ministry or public authority. We use data from public sources, but we are a private, independent service. Any resemblance to an official communication is unintentional, and we claim no official recognition.

The nature and limits of our information

Our data comes from public sources, including the official registry of funeral service businesses in Quebec, as well as other factual sources available to the public.

We make reasonable efforts to keep this information accurate and up to date. However, a registry of this size changes constantly. Businesses open, close, or change their contact details. We therefore cannot guarantee that every piece of information is accurate, complete, or current at all times. Information is provided as is, for guidance only.

Before making a decision, we recommend that you contact the business concerned directly and verify the information with them.

What we do not provide

The content of this site is provided for general information only. It is not legal, financial, tax, or professional advice, and it does not replace advice from a qualified professional.

Questions about an estate, a will, a prearrangement contract, or any other particular situation should be put to a notary, a lawyer, or another competent professional. We are not a funeral business and we do not provide any funeral services.

Business data and the correction process

The information we publish about funeral service businesses is factual data from public sources. It concerns businesses in the course of their commercial activity.

We care about the accuracy of this data. If you represent a business and find inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete information about you, you may request a correction. You may also request removal of your business listing. Write to us at info@guidefuneraire.ca, specifying the establishment concerned and the correction requested.

We process these requests promptly and free of charge. Our goal is for this guide to reflect the sector accurately, and collaboration from businesses helps us do that.
