How We Help Human Funeral Services. Ethical Excellence. Dignified, Affordable, and Personalized Cremation.
At Online Funeral Services, every gesture matters. Every detail is a tribute. We put humanity, dignity, and professional care at the heart of every cremation, embalming, ritual, and bereavement support we offer.
Our mission is clear: To provide the best funeral care in Quebec at the best price, with compassion, professionalism, and integrity.
Excellence at a Human Price Our funeral packages start at $1,525, all-inclusive, with no hidden fees. Each package includes:
Professional transportation of your loved one
Legal documentation and processing
Direct cremation with care
Urn delivered to your home
Full human support, 7 days a week
Complete freedom to personalize the farewell ceremony
We’re not selling a product. We’re guiding you through one of life’s most intimate moments.
Rituals That Support Healing We don’t believe in rushed or generic goodbyes. That’s why we offer:
Unique ceremony locations: a boat cruise, a musical gathering, a shared meal, a park, a community room, whatever feels right for your family
Meaningful symbols: music, video, memory books, shared gestures, personal items
Therapeutic support: because crafting a ritual together helps mourners begin to heal in a healthier, more grounded way
Professional Integrity. No Outsourcing.Unlike many so-called “online funeral platforms,” we do not outsource care to third parties. ✅ We handle decontamination, identification, body care, and logistics ourselves ✅ We follow the highest professional standards in every procedure ✅ We use partner spaces for ceremonies, but we always maintain full control over care and ritual
What Other Providers Don’t Tell You In the funeral services industry, many companies use secondary brand names to mask their real identities, creating the illusion of independence or affordability. But behind these names are large funeral homes or multinational corporations, something most families aren’t made aware of until it’s too late. For example, Alavida is actually a division of Kane & Fetterly. Cleo Cremation belongs to Paperman & Sons. Crémation Montréal is operated by Arbor Memorial under the Rideau brand. Crémation Direct is a front for Dignity Memorial, a major American funeral conglomerate. Crémation Simple is managed by Salon funéraire Bleu-Ciel, and Crématel or Actuel fall under Groupe Yves Légaré.
Funera (previously Echovita) has even been convicted of stealing thousands of online obituaries, with its founder ordered to pay over $20 million in damages to Canadian funeral homes.
Then there’s Azur Incinération, promoting cremation for just $595. But the word "incineration" is inappropriate--we incinerate waste; we cremate human beings. And beyond the low price tag, essential services like transportation and cremation containers are often charged separately. In most cases, families are required to pay in full before the deceased is even taken into care.
At OnlineFuneralSevices.ca, we do things differently. We believe in full transparency, ethical practice, and above all, in treating every person and every family with dignity, clarity, and respect.
For Us, Integrity Is Not Optional, It’s Foundational.
