Cimetière Saint-Vincent-de-Paul

Hidden within Laval, Cimetière Saint-Vincent-de-Paul holds more than two centuries of Quebec’s history. This serene sanctuary, established in its current form on August 30, 1898, isn’t just the final resting place for many. It’s the fifth cemetery on this very site, a testament to the enduring connection between a community and its past. Cimetière Saint-Vincent-de-Paul offers a quiet space for reflection, echoing the stories of the people who once called this village home. Since the parish’s founding, the cemetery has overlooked the Rivière des Prairies. Over time, Cimetière Saint-Vincent-de-Paul has evolved. In 1984, the first garden of ashes was created. A year later, a Way of the Cross was erected. By 1995, a columbarium was built. To meet the growing need, a new columbarium and master plan were developed in 2003. Cimetière Saint-Vincent-de-Paul is more than just a burial ground. It’s a place of remembrance, connecting Île Jésus and the city of Laval. It welcomes those seeking a peaceful walk or a moment to honor loved ones. For those grieving, it offers solace and a quiet space to find comfort and faith.
