Personalized funerals, designed with respect for each person's story

Every life is unique and deserves to be celebrated in a unique way. That's why Complexe Aeterna offers personalized funeral services that allow you to create ceremonies that reflect the life of your loved one, their values, and what made them special as a person.

It starts with attention to every detail. The choice of officiant, the order of service, symbolic objects, music, photos, and shared memories: all these points are important when it comes to organizing a successful funeral ceremony. Each element must be carefully considered so that the celebration of life reflects the spirit and values of the deceased.

The facilities at Complexe Aeterna are designed to support this personalized approach. Lounge D is recognizable by its modern design. Spacious and refined, it can accommodate up to 75 guests in a contemporary setting. With its comfortable leather armchairs and convenient coat check, it is designed to offer guests everything they need.

The more intimate Salon E offers a warm space with a fireplace, where loved ones can share a drink or a treat and reminisce about their loved one. Photos, personal items, or anything else that helps create an atmosphere reminiscent of precious moments spent with the deceased can be displayed here.

“The last Christmas, the last birthday, the last family evening... you can recreate an important moment in Lounge E. It's a small lounge for memories; a space for remembrance.”

- Lucie Marsolais, Executive Director of Complexe Funéraire Aeterna

 

Art and music in modern funeral ceremonies

Incorporating art into a funeral ceremony can transform mourning into a meaningful moment of reflection. At Complexe funéraire Aeterna, we work with professional artists and musicians to offer lively and moving tributes.

A live musical performance by an artist carefully chosen by the family can evoke memories, tell a story, or simply bring comfort to the bereaved. Art allows us to pay tribute by touching hearts in ways that words cannot.

 “We work closely with musicians, celebrants, and caterers to orchestrate a funeral ceremony that reflects the life of your loved one.”

- Jacob Lamoureux, Family Advisor

The interior design of Complexe Aeterna fully supports the organization’s mission of providing a superior experience to the families it serves. The premises are decorated with soothing artistic photographs chosen to inspire peace. The visual environment helps create a serene atmosphere conducive to both contemplation and celebration.

 

Connected celebrations: when technology and commemoration come together

Thanks to the AeternaWeb service, families can livestream funeral ceremonies, allowing distant loved ones to attend from anywhere in the world.

In addition, the E-Memoris digital platform, included in Complexe Aeterna's services, allows participants to leave a message of condolence, a voice recording, or even a short video for loved ones, creating a living collection of testimonials. Once the ceremony is over, a digital memorial file is given to the family, containing all these precious messages.

This digital keepsake is a true emotional treasure that can be preserved, passed on, or revisited over the years.

Complexe funéraire Aeterna is constantly expanding its multicultural offerings. We provide services in 13 languages so that we can support each family in their native language and in accordance with their traditions.

Whether it involves specific religious rituals, cultural traditions, or personal wishes, our team ensures that each ceremony is faithful to the wishes of the deceased and respectful of the family's customs.
