Toronto Necropolis — Attraction in Toronto

Some could wonder how such a beautiful beautiful place could exist in the center of the downtown city of Toronto!! This place is absolutely beautiful and seemingly would only exist in movies. The cemetary is nessled in between family parks, a sports field, family picnic areas and Riverdale park. One day I was just following the paths for me the Toronto Necropolis cemetery is quite the find! I have ever seen a cemetery rich with such old and big elegant and extravagant tombstones ever! A lot of the Graves can be dated to the early 1800's as well some are so old that any print or carvings have disappeared over the decades and even centuries of decay! You could probably spend hours here taking pictures as I did. Not only the cemetary itself with tons of property to view tombstones but also the absolutely incredible chapel to view there as well, even tho I wasn't able to make it inside! You will also notice joggers come through as the trail pathway system connects to the entrance of the cemetery. Would highly recommend for anyone who are into old Gothic style type things or even just cemetaries in general. Would recommend this to anyone to visit at...

I called early one morning, to see if they could locate my Great Grandfather's grave as I wanted to take my father to see it. He hadn't been there in over 70 years. All the staff, both over the phone and in person, were very kind, and helpful. When we arrived we were met by a grounds keeper who had obviously been watching for us. He took us right to the grave's location and made sure we had found it. It made for a very pleasant experience for both my...
