About

For such a large, bustling city, it seems strange that there is only one cemetery for its citizens.

Made up of 106 acres of wide, scenic vistas, Mountain View has approximately 92,000 graves and 145,000 interred remains of former Vancouverites. A beautiful place to contemplate loved ones lost, it also serves as a natural museum of sorts for city history to remain preserved.
