History
The Queen's Park Cemetery only dates back to 1940, so its history is relatively recent for a cemetery. Originally, the cemetery offered sections for graves with upright monuments only. Nearly a century later, the cemetery offers sections for flat markers (flat stones set flush to the ground) to lessen upkeep costs, as well as a variety of columbaria, which act as a final resting place for cremated remains. The Field of Honour is also located at Queen’s Park Cemetery and includes many of Calgary’s veterans of the First World War, the Second World War and the Korean War and more recent conflicts.
The now-mature Queen's Park Cemetery is a favourite spot for walkers, runners and nature lovers from North Hill and neighbouring communities.
