Our cemeteries are open for visits from sunrise to sunset every day of the year. Our working hours are Monday - Friday from 7am. - 3:30pm.

Flowers are allowed on a grave if they are in a non-glass container off the ground. Christmas flowers will be removed the week before Easter every year. No balloons, glass, pottery, clothing, bottles, loose flowers, trinkets or stuffed animals will be allowed. The Cemetery Division reserves the right to remove and discard any prohibited or unsafe items at will. 

The Public Services Department has taken on the task of making this possible. We hope to have a Cemetery Search/Mapping link available for the public to use in the future. You will be able to locate family and friends buried in our cemeteries with a simple search on your smart phone or tablet.
