Funeral services were held Friday for two people who died in a Saint-Roch-de-L'Achigan, Que. explosion last month.

The funeral was open to the public, allowing community members to come together and grieve.

Christophe Paradis, a 26-year-old from Mascouche, also lost his life in the explosion.

His funeral will be held on Saturday.
