Thinking about your final resting place or that of a loved one is a deeply personal journey. It is essential to choose a location that reflects your values, beliefs, and vision of life. Urgel Bourgie cemeteries offer exactly that, providing peaceful environments with distinct settings, ranging from contemporary concepts to natural memory streams.
What defines a cemetery?
An Urgel Bourgie cemetery is much more than a final resting place for the deceased. It is a beautifully landscaped, park-like space where nature takes center stage. Families can gather and find peace in a calm, green environment, far from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
Across Urgel Bourgie’s cemeteries, thoughtful landscaping, open spaces, and modern facilities combine to create a soothing environment to celebrate life and honor the memory of those who have passed. However, each site has its own distinct personality and unique mission to meet everyone's expectations.
"Our cemeteries are designed as living spaces of remembrance. We want to offer families a place where they can come to reflect, remember, and even take a walk in an environment that brings calm and comfort," notes Diego Beltran, Vice-President of Operations at Urgel Bourgie.

The Montreal Urgel Bourgie cemetery: an oasis of peace in the heart of the city
The Urgel Bourgie cemetery located in Montreal stands out for its urban character. Formerly known as the Parc commémoratif de Montréal, it serves as a true sanctuary of remembrance right in the heart of the metropolis.
The atmosphere remains deeply peaceful. Visitors can stroll quietly, reflect, or pay tribute to their loved ones in a natural setting. Easily accessible due to its proximity to Highways 15 and 40, this location also makes it straightforward for families living outside of Montreal to visit.
This cemetery beautifully balances nature and urban life, allowing families to gather while remaining close to the heart of the city.
The Saint-Hubert ecological cemetery: a green vision
For those who place a special importance on the environment, the Saint-Hubert cemetery offers an approach centered on ecological values.
Formerly known as Jardin des Laurentides, this site is bordered by a large lake and crossed by the Ruisseau du Souvenir (Stream of Memories). The natural landscape creates a soothing atmosphere that encourages reflection and contemplation.
Its environmental mission plays a central role. The grounds and services offered are designed to reduce the ecological footprint while allowing families to honor their loved ones in a nature-respecting environment.
Ecological gardens for a personalized tribute
Across all Urgel Bourgie cemeteries, ecological spaces have been carefully designed to allow for a more natural approach to remembrance. Ashes can be interred in gardens featuring memory stones or small monuments, accompanied by a commemorative plaque.
Some families also choose the "tree of remembrance" option, which involves burying a biodegradable urn at the base of a tree. A plaque or a natural stone is then used to identify the location.
Flowering gardens represent another beautiful option. In these spaces, urns are interred in front of vibrant floral displays, creating a colorful and living environment where families can come to reflect.
Choosing a resting place that reflects your values
Today, Urgel Bourgie's indoor and outdoor columbariums represent beautiful options for the placement of both single and companion funeral urns. Depending on your preferences, you can opt for a glass-front niche to maintain a visual connection with the urn, or a closed columbarium with a wood or granite front that preserves privacy. These diverse layouts allow families to select a place of remembrance that perfectly aligns with their preferences and how they wish to honor a loved one's memory.
For many seniors, thinking about these matters is part of a broader reflection on life’s different chapters. If you or a loved one are also considering a change in your living environment, the Bonjour Résidences team can guide you free of charge in finding a seniors' residence that fits your needs and reality.
