Cimetière Notre-Dame-des-Neiges is the largest cemetery in Canada and the third-largest in North America. It was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1999 and plaqued in 2004.

Every mausoleum in Notre-Dame-des-Neiges Cemetery contains multiple crypts, clearly identified, as well as columbaria with glass or marble niches for one or more urns. The first mausoleum, Notre Dame, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, was built in 1978. The others were added gradually in the years that followed: John-Paul II (1980), Saint-Francis (1982), Marguerite-Bourgeoys (1983), The Pietà (1985), Saints Peter and Paul (1989), Sainte Clare of Assisi (1994), the two-storey Sainte Marguerite d’Youville (1996) and, most recently, Esther-Blondin (2007).
