For five generations, the funerary and cinerary monuments’ maker has been renowned for assembling personalized granite burial vaults. Dedicated to lifetime lasting, we are committed to using the highest quality granite.
A burial crypt is an ideal resting place for those who want to gather the members of the same family together. Instead of ground burial structures like vaults, crypts are raised monuments with engraved commemorative plaques.
Similar to the crypt, the funeral chapel is a serene architecture for preserving the unity of the family. These small buildings can protect one or more coffins or cremation monuments from weather conditions.
Martel & Sons offers a service to families to commemorate and remember your loved one. Besides traditional funeral products, we also offer unique cremation monuments.
A columbarium is an eco-friendly option to hold urns containing cremated remains of the deceased. It offers a dignified and personalized space for each individual’s memory to be preserved.
The family columbarium is a new concept in many North American cemeteries. Its design secures a private space for family cremains in a smaller, more personalized niche structure.

Today, there are numerous shapes of funeral urns. It is possible to find urns shaped like hearts, lotus flowers, or even adorned with angel wings.
The vast majority of cremation urns available are individual cremation urns. These have a capacity of 3 to 3.5 L depending on the size of the deceased. This wide variety allows families to refine their choice according to a particular passion of the deceased or even a particular colour.
The cremation urn for a couple is larger than the individual urns. The size of these urns is sufficient to hold the ashes of two adults. You have the option of choosing a single chamber urn or a double chamber urn to separate the ashes in the container.
These urns are smaller and designed to hold only a portion of the cremated remains. These urns are used for a variety of purposes, usually to hold a small portion of the remains as a keepsake when your loved one’s ashes are buried or held in a columbarium.
Ceramic is the most common material used in the manufacture of funeral urns. Unique and artistic, they can be sealed with wax to avoid any unpleasant opening. Ceramic is a very delicate material and can be easily cleaned.
Wooden funeral urns are made of different species. It is possible to find them in maple, mahogany or walnut. Their natural brown tones bring a touch of delicacy to this funeral object. Easy to maintain, you can have a message engraved in memory of the deceased.
In recent years, a new type of urn has appeared. They are made from biodegradable materials. Made of paper, cardboard or natural fibers, they hold the ashes of a loved one while remaining ephemeral. Some of them can be used as a flowerpot to grow a tree or any other plant.
The metal urn is made of bronze, pewter, stainless steel or brass. It provides a lasting final resting place for your loved one. Easy to maintain, the metal urn is an economical option. Less expensive than other materials, metal remains a popular choice.
Round or rectangular, granite urns provide an elegant setting for your loved ones’ ashes. They can be personalized and are available in a wide range of colours and finishes. The material is strong and will not deteriorate over time.
