In 1950, Léon opened his first funeral home exactly where it is today on Saint-Pierre Street, then he opened various branches in Delson, Saint-Philippe and Kahnawake. Through it all, he was also elected mayor of Saint-Constant from 1945 to 1955.

In 1968, his son Jean, a graduate of the Institut de Thanatologie du Québec, took over and renovated the parlors. In his process of development and expansion of territory, he acquired a new branch in Saint-Rémi in 1986 while providing quality ambulance service in the region for a period of 25 years.

In 2010, in order to allow families to have all the services under the same roof, Robert closed the branches of Delson and Saint-Philippe, then concentrated his operations at the funeral home of Saint Constant; he added a chapel, a reception hall and another columbarium, propelling it among the largest funeral complexes, comparable to those of large urban centres.
