What cimetiere saint-joseph does

The Corporation du Cimetière St-Joseph de Manicouagan is a Quebec-based non-profit cemetery corporation that has operated continuously since 1961, when it consolidated interments from existing Baie-Comeau cemeteries onto its current site at 425 Route 138 in Pointe-Lebel. The organization serves families and individuals in the Manicouagan region of Quebec (primarily Baie-Comeau and surrounding areas), providing traditional burial plots, cremation urn lots, private and corporate columbarium niches, pre-arrangement planning, and memorial products including commemorative porcelain photos, urns, and marble statues. Its administrative office is located at 920 Rue de Puyjalon in Baie-Comeau.

The corporation operates with a board-of-directors governance model and reinvests all revenues into grounds maintenance and capital improvements. Cemetery grounds are maintained daily and are open to pedestrians from 8am to 8pm and to automobiles from 8am to 4pm, with full public access from May 1 to October 31. Burial operations follow a seasonal cadence with scheduled spring and fall interment events. The organization has adapted to the growing preference for cremation by developing fully landscaped columbarium sections featuring granite construction and secure locking systems.

Revenue is generated through one-time fees for burial plots, columbarium niches, urns, and memorial products, supplemented by a donation program that offers aluminum plaque recognition on cemetery fencing and the website for contributions of $75 or more. A free online deceased-person directory with over 5,700 searchable records serves as a community resource and top-of-funnel engagement tool. Marketing is minimal, relying on the organization's website (cimetieremanicouagan.ca), a Facebook page, and word-of-mouth referrals. The corporation is the sole cemetery operator serving the Manicouagan region.
