In partnership with Magnus Poirier, Les Sentiers is committed to providing more natural, caring and compassionate funeral services. True to our focus on innovation, we’re pleased to now offer refrigerated funeral tables.
This approach delivers a calm and dignified preservation experience, reflecting our commitment toward responsible, environmentally sound funeral practices. A choice that highlights our respect for the environment and grieving families.
Already well established in Europe, refrigerated funeral tables are designed to display the body of the deceased without a casket.
The stainless steel frame is equipped with a cooling unit which evenly cools down the table’s entire surface.
The table is then dressed up to look like a comfortable bed on which the deceased will lie.
Refrigerated funeral tables meet a combination of needs focused on respect, dignity and environmental awareness expressed by families seeking funeral practices that are both more natural and more respectful of the environment.
Enabling display practices that honour the memory of the deceased in a very intimate and personal fashion, refrigerated funeral tables introduce a human, peaceful touch into the grieving process.
Traditional preservation techniques (embalming) often involve the use of chemicals that are potentially harmful to the environment. Under favourable conditions, the use of refrigerated funeral tables can be an alternative to embalming.
This approach is especially relevant considering the growing global focus on safeguarding our planet, offering families an option more in tune with their ecological values.
Please note, however, that it is rarely possible to display the body of the deceased without first embalming it.
Refrigerated funeral tables make it possible to display the body of the deceased without a casket.
Once the table is dressed up, it looks like a bed on which the body will be displayed in the clothing selected by the family. This creates a more personal, intimate environment that looks like a room in a home setting.
Families appreciate this less formal approach which allows them to feel closer to their loved one as they say their final goodbye.
With the establishment of a unique funeral concept in the city of Prévost in the Laurentians, Les Sentiers has positioned itself as a pioneer in the field of natural cemeteries in Québec. What sets us apart is our warm and caring funeral services, and our unique low-impact eco-friendly cemetery where nature abounds.
With our valued partner Magnus Poirier, we are proud to continue along our path of innovation by being Québec’s first and only funeral home to offer refrigerated funeral tables.
Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions about refrigerated funeral tables or if you want guidance regarding funeral arrangements.
Je veux vous remercier, vous d’abord Monsieur Tittel, pour votre belle écoute et votre disponibilité lors du décès de mon mari Aurélien Boisvert. Votre approche est humaine et réconfortante. Également, je veux souligner le travail impeccable accompli par le directeur qui a officialisé ou plutôt dirigé la cérémonie à l’église et au cimetière. Il avait toujours le souci et la délicatesse d’aller selon le désir de la famille. Et à la toute fin il a adressé la parole comme si c’était le défunt qui énonçait ses dernières volontés.
Tous étaient unanimes, c’était spécial, unique et touchant. Il est vraiment dans sa profession. Merci de lui transmettre notre gratitude et notre satisfaction.
