Seasonal Cleanup
We
are pleased to welcome our early warm Spring days in March and if this
weather continues
we will be starting our cemetery clean up when the snow is gone and the
ground is
hard enough to take equipment.

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.

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.

**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
Mausoleum & Columbarium

at the office if you would like to take advantage of this Memorial
Program.
Please re-visit this page again for
further seasonal updates.
