Transportation and return of remains

Responsibility : Diverses organisations

The steps involved in transporting the remains of a deceased person and returning them home may vary according to the place of death.

Death in Québec
Contact a funeral director, who will then see to the formalities involved in transporting the remains.

Death abroad
To have a body returned to Québec, contact a funeral director. Canadian consular officials overseas and in Ottawa assist families in making all the necessary arrangements. Contact Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada to report the death of a Canadian citizen abroad.
