Many of the more than 250 urns stored at the Collins Clarke MacGillivray White funeral home in Pointe Claire are salvageable, said an official at the fire site last Saturday.

The urns are being collected and transported to the company’s other location in N.D.G., where they will be cleaned. Families will then be notified, the official said.

In an official statement released by the owners of the property, Dignity Memorial, the cause of the blaze is still being assessed.

“However, our priority is our families. We have been a proud member of this community since 1940 and will continue to provide funeral services for our families through our other locations in the area,” said Christopher James, a communications official with Dignity Memorial. “Rest assured we are in the process of contacting families about this unfortunate circumstance.”

He would not respond to other questions.

Church officials from around the West Island have reached out to offer facilities for services that had been planned for the funeral home, the official on the site last weekend said. He also said the company plans to rebuild the funeral home in Pointe Claire.
