City of Calgary Cemeteries
City of Calgary Cemeteries
The City of Calgary operates six cemeteries and an indoor mausoleum where families can honour and remember loved ones. Our cemeteries are unique reminders of our past, present and future.
Each cemetery offers a distinct experience, and we encourage all Calgarians to visit these special places. We encourage the use of cemetery grounds for not only remembering a loved one but also for passive activities like walking, cycling, nature observation and historical research.
Prairie Sky Cemetery
Prairie Sky Cemetery is the first new cemetery built by The City since 1940, a natural landscape guarded by the Rocky Mountains. The cemetery features a number of new in-ground and cremation plots, including Calgary’s first Green Burial section.
