Jocelyne Dallaire Légaré and her daughter Julia Duchastel
Today, three generations later, the founders’ granddaughter, Jocelyne Dallaire Légaré, is in charge at MEMORIA. Her creative mind is behind the reinvented site design, as exemplified by the St. Laurent complex, inaugurated in 1999. And it was her idea to offer free psychological assistance, to create art circles, to integrate works of art into the funeral homes and to suggest the innovative concept of a drop-in daycare.
She is unceasing in her efforts to think up new ideas and ways to revitalize the services provided. Her creative energy is supported by her close relationship with her daughter Julia and the dynamism of a talented team of craftspeople, artists, counsellors and professionals, who continue to serve families with equal respect for all communities and the same sense of compassion as when it all began.
Today, MEMORIA is 10 complexes, shining examples of a serene modernity and solidly rooted in the foundations of tradition.
On the occasion of Memoria's 80th birthday, a vibrant tailor-made tribute has been created by Moment factory - Alfred en 8 temps (see video).
