With its decorations featuring skeletons, coffins and ghosts, Halloween is an opportunity to address a subject that is still quite taboo in our culture: death.

Outstanding Service in the Language of Your Choice
"Native language” is the first language a person learns. It is the language that soothes us as children, that teaches us the basics of communication and that reminds us of our home or country of origin. With all its colours and subtleties, it evokes happy memories and the people we love. When the time comes to commemorate a loved one, it is only natural to want to do so in that person's native language to pay tribute to his or her culture, origins and customs. This is why Æterna Funeral Complex strives to serve its clientele in their native language, almost every time.
