    • Cemetery Services

    The Town of Canmore is building a new fire hall adjacent to the cemetery starting in April 2021. Please be advised that there will be construction noise at the cemetery Monday – Saturday. If you are looking to plan your visit or interment during a quieter time please consider visiting on a Sunday. Thank you for your understanding during this work.

    The Canmore Cemetery is located on Palliser Trail. 

    The Cemetery has plots available for in ground interments and a Columbarium. A Columbarium is an above ground granite structure which allows for the placement of cremated remains in a niche. Each niche is capable of holding two urns.

    There are two Field of Honour sections. We are now selling plots in our newest section, West Section H

    Our historic section is untouched and dates back to the early 1800s. It is located behind the Columbarium. It is open to the public.

    For any inquiries please contact: Parks/Cemetery Coordinator at 403.678.1599 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
