Thank you for quick reply.  Tried to get on to that site but wouldn't let me register for some reason but I will try again now that I know for sure I can ask on there.
Regards

The very nice people at Mount Royal Cemetery took a photograph of a grave for me and sent it to me.

You could email Nilton Freitas at nfreitas@mountroyalcem.com quoting the plot number.
He is 'Assistant des Operations du Cimitiere'.,

I had to wait until about April last year to get it, as the graveyard was covered with snow when I wrote just before that!

I had the same experience when I asked for a photo from Ontario, Canada.  They very kindly sent the photo once the snow melted.

Note: parts of North America have had a lot of snowfall this year.  At this time, Montreal supposedly will also have a late spring.

I can attest to heavy snowfalls recently, in Ontario and Quebec, so it might be well into April before the photos get done.  I would think Mount Royal would have its paths cleared but many smaller cemeteries would not.

Thank you, yes I suppose we forget how bad the winters can be in Canada.
