Burial outside a cemetery or exhumation: identifying approvals
Coordinate health and judicial approvals with funeral professionals.
Do not begin any removal before obtaining required approvals; confirm the procedure for the specific case.
Distinguish the burial location
Burial normally takes place in a designated setting such as a cemetery plot or mausoleum. For another location, check the authorization process with Santé Québec. [1]
Follow the sequence
Exhumation requires the prescribed health authorization before the judicial process. Coordinate the steps with the funeral business and a legal professional when needed. [1]
Identify participants
Identify the funeral business, location and responsible parties during preparation. Consult the official framework for required documents and professionals rather than improvising physical intervention. [2]
Keep the decisions
Collect approvals and confirm conditions before agreeing on a date. Availability of land or a service provider does not constitute authority approval. [2]
