Notre-Dame-des-Neiges Cemetery

It's utterly ridiculous and shameful that a cemetery can be closed to the public for so many months depriving people from visiting their loved ones. We're all held hostage with no recourse, and the city doesn't seem to care either.

Still at 25% clean up.you're just playing with us.
It's all about you.where are my rights to visit my parents grave?

My husband tried to go the third time for these months! Always locked! Really disrespectful for the families and the deceased!

Sérieusement, quand allez-vous régler vos problématiques internes.
C'est un manque de respect total envers les défunts et les proches.

Considering its historic prominence and its current state, this cemetery is becoming a disgrace to the city.

Ya toujours des problématiques avec ce cimetière, jamais ouvert, on peut même pas allez voir nos défunts. Ça sert a quoi de payer des milliers de dollars si personne peut venir nous voir quand on meurt. Spirituellement c très dure pour plusieurs personnes. Ça va finir que les gens vont sauter les clôtures, je dis ça je dis rien.

I had family from Ukraine who wanted to see family grounds and their ancestry. Area closed and could not get in because of a strike. Unheard off. Get rid of strikers. Many people need work. Disgusting situation.

For the insane prices you pay it's never open the staff is rude and the hours are less than normal work hours, they're also closed on Sundays. Should've gotten a spot at the other one on Mont Royal. Paid 6500$ for a spot we haven't been able to visit my father in law since he got buried in November 2022 everytime we showed up either their hours changed, they're on strike, they got no one to clear branches from a storm from months ago. What's the point of paying an insane price if you don't get to see your loved ones. Since they're constantly closed we didn't even get to meet someone for the headstone yet either which is also some more fees to add to that. After the burial we asked when the dirt was gonna be settled they said a week we came back 2 weeks after and nothing was done we couldn't even find the spot between the graves and when we did there was some trash on top of it. Get more information before burying your loved ones there you won't get to see them and they won't be taking care of the spot either.

Cut your damn grass, the neighborhood is full of insects because of your lack of maintenance!

Shame on you you have been on strike for MONTHS. On the website it says open closes at 4pm. We arrive at noon and the guard says that we can’t enter due to maintenance and its going to last a month. Last time we came it was closed due to strike. Shame on the workers! Wonder why the authorities don’t intervene!

BE PREPARED. Strike: over. Nonetheless see another one coming again in the future just like the past few years. Choose anywhere but this place because even before they used to do the minimum and now they do not care. Dirty benches and bathrooms, lack of staff, terribly maintained.

Impossible de rendre visite aux défunts de notre famille. Les explications sont toutes sauf claires. Je me demandes si je peux changer les défunts de ma famille pour un autre cimetière avec des horaires plus réalistes et un respect d’autrui.

The hours posted are incorrect - the cemetery is closed to all visitors until September. And the gall of management to have "updated" the hours two weeks ago indicating they're open. What an inept bunch running this place.

I am disgusted at what the families and myself had to go through. There is mismanagement going on. Get the cemetery opened to all immediately! Employees and management should be ashamed!

Not only is closed on Sundays, not water at the faucets, not lawnmowers.
. So neglected that every my weekly visit I feel pain not only for my lost one, also for the desolation of the place.the cemetery nextdoor Mont-Royal is pristine!

This cemetery is getting from bad to worse if I could I’ll give -5 stars. After 3 months of strike, not even a week that reopened is closed again, today Easter Day we can’t go visiting our loved one, the excuse is the ice storm, already passed 5 days and the weather today is magnificent. The staff, mostly the management people, they must be ashamed of themselves, they have no coscienze. I lost my son 8 years ago, the only thing that helps me to feel close to him is visiting his grave. I do it weekly. Every time the Cimetière is closed only God knows how I feel, the stress and mental anguish I’m going through. On my son anniversary date I called and talked to someone, begging to let me visiting his grave, they refused. I spent weeks in depression.
I regret to have chosen this cemetery, I wish people are careful before they choose this cemetery.

Wow c'est la fête a ma mère le 7 juillet et mon père et moi voulions allez lui rendre visite au cimetière (le deuil est récent) rendu au cimetière, c'est fermé à cause de leurs grève.c'est irrespectueux de fermé un lieux sacré pour cela, c'est n'importe quoi comme cimetière.mais bien sur, le cimetière nous prennent une somme d'argent astronomiques pour avoir un endroit où visiter ma mère, qui finalement ne me donne même pas accès à la voir lorsque j'en ressens le besoin

Sickened by the state of the grounds, branched down grass not cut you pay to have you loved ones burried and you cannot even go visit thier graves. I get you have no contract, however not fair to us who want to visit our loves ones. Shame on you!

Quand ce n est pas la grève c est le verglas et après ce sera quoi? Aucun respect pour les défunts et leurs familles le service est inexistant et pourri! J espère qu un jour vous vivrez ce que vous faites subir aux familles.
