Alexandre Bourc (Bourque) Burial Record: Can someone Translate for me?

On Ancestry.com (Drouin Collection), the attached record is listed as an Enterrement record for Alexandre Bourc at St-François-de-la-Rivière-du-Sud, Québec. I think it reads that Alexandre Bourc is the son of Alexandre Bourc and his wife was Marie Hebert. I think the date may be 25 March 1760. Question: did I interpret the date correctly and is it the date of death or date of burial? Also what was his age at death? A complete translation to English would be much appreciated.

The burial date is correct; the death date is always somewhere in the text, in this case the preceding day (24 March 1760). The translation is as follows:

The 25th of March 1760, by us, the undersigned priest missionary, have buried with the ordinary ceremonies of the Church in the cemetery of this parish, Alexandre Bourc (sic for Bourque), son of Alexandre Bourc, Acadian, and of Marie Ebert (sic for Hébert) his wife, who died the preceding day, aged 23 years after having confessed and received the sacraments of the Eucharist and Extreme Unction. Present (at the burial) were Guillaume Rouleau and Pierre Buteau who have signed with us.

Bédard, Priest
Guillaume Rouleau
Pierre Buteau
