Guide to Services & Merchandise

Hamilton Municipal Cemeteries offer several beautiful locations to suit individual and family preferences. Hamilton Municipal Cemeteries operates 70 cemeteries across Hamilton, including cemeteries in the communities of Stoney Creek, Flamborough, Dundas and Glanbrook.

Choosing a final resting place is an important decision. For family and friends, having a permanent place to visit, remember and reflect can assist in the grieving process and help create a legacy for generations to come.

We would be honoured to assist you in arranging for burial or cremation options at one of our cemeteries.

Cemetery Property Options

Like funeral homes, cemeteries can provide many dignified options for a family, depending on their personal taste and budget. You can select individual burial spaces for a casket or urn (if selecting cremation) or a group of spaces for multiple family members. We encourage families to discuss the various options with our family services coordinator.

Interment Right prices (graves, crypts and cremation niches) can vary widely from one location to another within each of our 71 cemeteries. Not all options are available at all of our cemeteries. The information provided are guidelines. For more specific information relating to our prices, or any other issues, please contact the cemetery office for a detailed price list and availability for any of our 70 cemeteries.
