The Lighthouse, Children and Families
For several years now, Magnus Poirier and the Laval Cemetery have been proud to be part of the Gardiens du Phare. It is an honour for us to graciously provide funeral services to bereaved families and to offer them the facilities of the Laval Cemetery and a special section dedicated to Le Phare, Enfants et Familles.
"The preservation of values and family ties has always been at the heart of the mission of the Laval Cemetery. We sincerely hope to help facilitate the remembrance of parents who are experiencing this painful ordeal," said Jacques Poirier, director of the Laval Cemetery, who is also president and chief executive officer of Magnus Poirier.
The Laval Cemetery provides the following services free of charge:
- the transfer of the deceased from the hospital to the Cemetery
- the burial container
- the internment rights
- the burial
More than 18 families have benefitted from this program. (Reference 2017)
