Learn About Our Field of Honour

The City of Regina honours veterans at both Regina and Riverside Memorial Park Cemeteries with a section dedicated to the interment of past or present Canadian Armed Forces, para-military forces (e.g., RCMP) or Allied Forces.

Prerequisites for burial in the Field of Honour

If you are considering the Field of Honour at Riverside Memorial Park Cemetery as a final resting place for yourself or your loved one, you need to know that:

• A regimental identification number is required.
• Both traditional (casket) and cremated remains are allowed.
• The remains of the Veteran’s spouse may be interred in the same plot and have his/her name included on a bronze plaque attached to the memorial or a flat marker. A spouse can only have his/her own plot and monument adjacent to the Veteran if:
• • He/she was a Veteran.
  • There is a second plot available that is adjacent to the first plot.
  • He/she installs a Veteran’s memorial on the second plot at the same time the memorial is installed on the first plot.
  • The information on the memorial for the second plot is as complete as possible, and includes his/her name.
• The memorials (grave markers) in the Field of Honour must follow specific regulations set out by the War Memorials Committee of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 1:
• • The head of Veteran’s plot will have a scroll style monument.
  • If the Veteran’s plot includes the remains of a spouse, the spouse’s memorialization may be either a flat marker or bronze plaque attached to the memorial.
