This most recent addition to the Edmonton Catholic Cemeteries was
established in 1992 by Archbishop Joseph MacNeil. Located in Edmonton's
southeastern corner, at Highway 14 and Whitemud Freeway, this cemetery
will, in time, become the largest of the diocesan properties. At
present, 18 of a total of 60 acres have been developed.
Our Lady of Peace Cemetery features a central lake, shrine areas
accented by a statue and other landscaping features and several
columbariums for above-ground cremation inurnment.
In 2001 a full service funeral home was built on-site by Connelly
McKinley, Edmonton's oldest family-operated funeral service to serve
the needs of South East Edmonton, Sherwood Park and surrounding areas.
Available options:
Casket and cremation ground burial, flat or traditional
upright memorialization; above-ground columbariums for
cremation inurnment; Field of Honour for veterans of Canada's
Armed Forces.
There are family garden vaults available for above ground casket
interment with surrounding areas dedicated to future family
cremation burials. Memorialization in bronze on the granite front
and sides
of the garden vault is featured.
Inside cremation interment in closed granite or glass niches, in all
sizes is available in the
new Columbarium facility.
