Holiday remembrance

Every winter holiday, The City of Calgary's Queen's Park Cemetery has three trees on display where family and friends can place a personal ornament or memento in memory of a loved one.

The City understands that for many this can be a very difficult time as we remember those who have passed on. We invite you to gather and reflect upon happy memories, and share warm wishes over the holiday season.

Where are the holiday trees located?

The three holiday remembrance trees are located at the Queen's Park Mausoleum at 3219 4 St. N.W., two on the main floor and one on the second floor.

Trees will be on display starting December 1 and ornaments can be placed between 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

Do I get the ornament back?

The remembrance trees will be taken down the first week in January. Anyone wishing to keep their ornament or memento can pick them up prior to the first Monday in January.

Other remembrance items

Those interested in purchasing wreaths can visit the Queen’s Park Cemetery administration building during office hours.
