Making final arrangements can be overwhelming, whether you are planning unexpectedly or planning ahead. With over 100 years of combined experience, our caring, knowledgeable and professional staff can help you choose the best option at a reasonable cost.

Cemetery choices are personal and address many traditional, cultural, religious and personal beliefs. Our primary role is to provide a final resting space for your loved one, whether through ground burial, crypt entombment, cremation, or with memorialization products, like headstones and markers.  Our professional staff can work directly with you and your loved ones by calling 403-221-3660 or emailing CalgaryCemeteries@calgary.ca.

We also work closely with licensed funeral homes. Among other things, funeral homes can help:

• hold and transport a body
• obtain a death certificate
• arrange the funeral, memorial and/or burial service
• prepare the obituary
• help notify the deceased's employer, attorney, insurance company and banks
• offer grief support or direct you to other resources

Be sure to speak with your funeral home director about the information you see on our website.

We offer a variety of burial interment options that include upright monuments or flat marker burial plots.

Prairie Sky Cemetery offers Calgary’s first green burial option.

The cremated remains of a loved one may be kept in an urn as a keepsake, placed in a mausoleum or columbarium niche, scattered in a garden or buried alongside family.

The Queen’s Park Cemetery chapel, located in the Queen’s Park Mausoleum, may be used for family services or receptions. Set-up and clean-up will be provided by The City. To find out how to arrange a private ceremony or family reception please contact our Administration office or contact your licensed funeral director for all other funeral service preparations and arrangements, including food, flowers and service details.

We offer urns in a variety of materials, shapes, colours, styles and sizes that can be customized to honour the individual they represent.
