Established in 1953, Riverside Memorial Park Cemetery is located in a quiet park like setting. A wide range of traditional and cremation interment options are available for consideration including an ossuary, scattering garden, in ground burial and columbaria niches. Approximately 600 interments occur here each year. The grounds are irrigated, with an intensive grounds maintenance program throughout the summer months.
Riverside Memorial Park Cemetery opened its gates in 1953. The land designated to the cemetery was divided into four sections and over the years, portions of each section were developed as land was needed. The last time an area in the cemetery was developed was in the mid-1980s. At the current rate of interments, this area will reach capacity in the next several years.
Developing the next area of the cemetery will allow us to continue to provide a variety of traditional and cremation interment options to the community. The area to be developed is within the current property lines of Riverside Cemetery. The estimated cost to develop the expansion area at Riverside Cemetery is $1.7m and is fully funded from the Cemeteries Reserve.
Expansion of Riverside Cemetery includes land levelling, drainage, surveying, irrigation, pump house upgrades, road construction, strip foundations, trees, landscaping, sodding and seeding. The area to be developed is approximately 2.8 hectares and should accommodate interment needs for the next years 25-30 years.
The expansion project is slated to break ground Spring 2022 with construction completed Winter 2022. Please be mindful of the construction equipment and vehicles and stay away from the construction areas. We apologize for any inconvenience or disruption this may cause and we appreciate your understanding while this project is ongoing.
