Mount Royal Cemetery — Attraction in Montreal

I spend a lot of time in cemeteries so I am alive unlike the other comments below. I do family history and also finding the place of famous dead folks. My first trip here in April of 2014, was a wash out as it was much too early in the cemetery season to go walking through the snow.

Cost of burial on that spot not affordable to all. Within the given area the plots look mostly taken. A handier burial formula should be researched for possible overflow. Some esthetic care should be looked after the metal rods surrounding the cemetery. Dying is not easy and the cemetery is a living proof that it is indeed! May all those buried...

I could get lost at this cemetery for hours on end. It's like a beautiful park with trees filled with a strange peace that reminds you everything is temporary. You almost miss having to walk all the way back home just to take a quick bite, but you manage. You also feel a little better now after your hike than when you got here. Your head hurts and so does your feet from walking all night long, which makes eating that much easier too. Not like it was pleasant walking all over those roads in the middle of...
