Mount Royal Cemetery in Montreal

A Montreal Cemetery Image Gallery

From Evelyn Reid, About.com

One of Canada's, if not one of North America's most stunning cemeteries, the Mount Royal Cemetery shares the spotlight with its Catholic counterpart, Notre-Dame-des-Neiges, both atop Mont Royal, Montreal's midtown mountain/glorified hill. And who among us Montreal natives has not either a) strolled through, b) biked in, or c) picnicked amidst the tragic beauty of the sizeable grounds?

Open to the public weekdays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., weekends from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and holidays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., join me for a virtual tour! Just click on the images below for some cemetery circuit tidbits, facts, directions and blurbs on some well-known personalities buried on the grounds.
