We are saddened to announce the death of Mr. Norman Duplin on May 14, 2025.
He is survived by his beloved spouse Gisèle Pesant, as well as many family members, friends and loved ones who will remember him as a generous and devoted man.
A moment of recollection will take place on Saturday, July 5, 2025, from 12:30 pm, at the Forêt de la Seconde Vie.
On this occasion, the family will root the ashes at the foot of a cherry tree, a symbol of gentleness, beauty and renewal. This tree, chosen with care, will bear witness to the living memory of Mr. Duplin in the respect of nature.
The family would like to thank everyone for their support at this difficult time.
La Forêt de la seconde vie is an ecoforestry cemetery; an alternative to traditional funeral homes that allows you to contribute to the creation of forests, in tribute to the memory of your loved ones and for the benefit of future generations.
To date, we are the only site in Quebec with the necessary authorizations for the burial of ashes to have grafted a forest conservation servitude onto our project to ensure the preservation and protection of the forest in perpetuity.
Our alternative funeral services allow you to pay tribute to your deceased by dedicating their second life to the benefit of future generations. The reforestation initiative initiative at Forêt de la seconde vie captures up to 175 tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere every year.
