Niche Spaces Available in Holy Cross Mausoleum

To meet the demand for indoor niches for the burial of cremated remains, we have a new area for niches in the Mausoleum. This featured niche area provides a wide selection of niches in a private, reflective area.

Niches, glazed and closed. can be purchased for the interment of one, two or up to four cremains. There are new niche features and layouts we have not offered in the previous phases, that have wide and varied appeal. We are very pleased with the response to this new area, and are delighted with the number and variety of sales we have already experienced.

We encourage anyone interested to contact us while we have a variety in type and number of niches still to offer.

We would be happy to show you this new area and provide you with prices and availability.
Call the Holy Cross office at 780 447-2921

Our Lady of Peace Columbarium

Our Lady of Peace, the newest of the Archdiocesan Cemeteries is located to serve the present and future needs of south east Edmonton and surrounding areas. The Cemetery is to be a full feature cemetery and we are preparing at this time to add a new feature to the existing property.

A full sized office and niche mausoleum has been opened in this Cemetery,which added to the existing facilities, will address all the requests and needs now and in the future. On March 25, 2007 the building and all its niches was dedicated and blessed by Msgr. Jack Hamilton in his role of Administrator of the Archdiocese of Edmonton.

Presently there are facilities for ground burial of caskets and cremains. There is above ground burial for cremains in columbariums which offer interment in double or family sized niches. There is a dedicated area, a Feld of Honour for Veterans and their spouses and an individual area for youth and children.

The Cemetery offers both flat lawn level markers and upright monument options. A niche mausoleum that looks out over the cemetery is now open and and provides inside burial of cremains in glass and enclosed niches of bronze and natural stone and marble.

At this time we have several areas of niches installed that will offer single, double and family niches. The office will continue to provide burial assistance to families, the display and sale of flat markers in bronze and granite and upright monuments in all sizes.

We invite everyone interested in niche burial to visit this stunning facility and during this introductory time we will be offering a special time limited discount on all niche sales.

**Unattended Open Flames**

We remind visitors to the Cemeteries that open flames of any type are not allowed.
Under most seasonal conditions any uncovered grass can catch fire from candles
and with a bit of wind the whole area is at risk.
Due to the dry conditions over past years the grass and trees in the Cemeteries are very dry.
PLEASE do not leave any candles burning.
Thank You
