What Groupe Chênevert does

Groupe Chênevert is a privately held Quebec-based manufacturer and retailer of granite funeral monuments, drawing on more than 100 years of combined industry experience. The company operates automated manufacturing facilities in Quebec that transform raw granite blocks — sourced from Quebec, the United States, Africa, and India — into finished monuments through sawing, cutting, polishing, sculpting, and engraving, supplemented by the importation of pre-finished monuments and sculptures from overseas suppliers at competitive cost. Its product portfolio centers on granite funeral monuments and columbariums, with modular add-ons (counter-bases in Series 1100, ground plaques in Series 1200) that allow families to extend existing memorials without replacing them.

The company monetizes through a mix of one-time monument sales, installation services (offered free of charge across all territories), engraving and personalization (including the proprietary ROBOT impact method for portraits and drawings), restoration and cleaning performed by mobile cemetery units, and a B2B wholesale stream operated under the Granit MDP brand for other monument businesses. It distributes through a network of more than 100 points of sale across Quebec and New Brunswick, serves individual families as its primary customer segment, and also targets funeral homes (Salons Funéraires) and monument businesses as professional clients via dedicated contact channels. Its stated growth strategy centers on investing in and acquiring additional businesses in the funeral sector to extend network and territorial reach across Canada and the United States.
