Ground Burial


What are my choices in ground burial?

Most common are single graves, and lots composed of two or more graves. Not all interment rights are available at all cemeteries. Please check with the cemetery office of your choice for availability of specific interment rights.

Single Grave

In most cases, a single grave can
accommodate two casket burials,
one at extra depth and the other at
standard depth. The most common
form of memorial is a granite or bronze
marker set flush with the ground.
However, upright memorials are
available in some areas. Check with
the cemetery office for availability.

Lot

A lot contains more than one grave.
In general, each grave within a lot can
accommodate two casket burials. In
most areas, an upright monument is
permitted on the lot. Its size is
governed by the size of the lot.

Urn Space

Urn spaces are available for those who 
have chosen cremation, but still prefer 
the traditional burial of cremated 
remains. Urn spaces will accommodate
up to two urns containing cremated 
remains. The most common form of 
memorial is a granite or bronze 
marker set flush with the ground. 
However, upright memorials are available in some areas. In many areas, urn spaces have been designed around a central sculpture or garden feature.

Veterans’ Section

All Mount Pleasant Group of Cemeteries, with the exception of the Toronto Necropolis and Mount Pleasant Cemetery, have a section dedicated to Canadian and Allied veterans. The cost of interment rights is reduced in these sections. A common memorial feature is dedicated to all veterans.
