Cemetery

The Town of Whitecourt’s Municipal Cemetery, located at 3604 35th Street, is maintained by the Infrastructure Services Department. Please contact the Planning Assistant at 780-778-2273 Ext.114 with inquiries regarding the cemetery, plot purchases, pre-planning or burial records.

The Cemetery gates (for vehicle traffic) are open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (weather permitting); closed on statutory holidays.  A side gate is available for foot traffic when the main cemetery gate can not be opened due to weather conditions.

To purchase a plot at the Whitecourt Cemetery, please visit the Town Administration Office.

Cemetery annual Maintenance Clean Up

Over the years, many gravesites at the Whitecourt Cemetery have had items left in remembrance at the gravesite which hinder our maintenance department’s ability to maintain the Cemetery grounds to the highest standards possible. 

The Town of Whitecourt requests that all ornaments, decorations, plants and other personal items placed on or around plots be removed by July 31, 2018.  Removal of items not attached to a monument/headstone (excluding fresh flowers) will allow for efficient year round maintenance, and a consistent aesthetic throughout the Cemetery.

If you know of a friend or family member’s gravesite which has any of the above noted items added to it, the Town of Whitecourt would like to give you this opportunity to remove the objects prior to the general clean-up of the Cemetery grounds.

Personal items left on or around plots after July 31, 2018 that hinder our ability to maintain the grounds, will be removed from the site and held at the Town Shop until the end of December 2018 for pickup.  Unclaimed items will be discarded after this date.

Our intention is to continue to provide proper care to the cemetery grounds and to maintain the respectful decorum that is expected by all residents.  By creating an environment that is consistent for all plots, we will be able to provide a peaceful area for everyone to enjoy.
