Community Cemetery

As one of the community’s most cherished and esteemed spaces, the Innisfail Cemetery offers a most peaceful and idyllic setting in which citizens can solemnly pay respect to, and remember, their loved ones.
Recognizing and respecting the cemetery’s deeply sentimental nature, the Town of Innisfail strives to maintain the cemetery grounds in the most sensitive, least intrusive manner possible. In doing so, Town staff work diligently to ensure the premises remain exceptionally well-tended while at the same time ensuring patrons retain the ability to honour and remember their loved ones both fittingly and appropriately.
Working within rules and regulations as recently updated through Town bylaws, the Town of Innisfail endeavours to maintain the high-quality appearance of this important space. In doing so, we most respectfully ask and advise of the following:
________________________________________

1. In order to ensure patrons are able to honour and remember their loved ones in the most dignified manner possible, we’ll do our best to maintain the grounds through prudent mowing, trimming and tree care, and through the careful removal of any wilted and/or unapproved items. To help ensure we’re not removing any items of sentimental value or significance, we ask that you please assist us in removing any such deteriorating commemorations from your own loved one’s resting site, and ensure existing/remaining adornments are permissible.

2. To ensure the grounds’ public features such as trees, benches and shrubbery can be quietly enjoyed and observed, we ask that you please refrain from tying or attaching to them any adornments or decorations.

3. Breakable vases, ornaments and decorations are not permitted in the cemetery. Such items can make grounds-keeping exceptionally difficult and time-consuming, and we ask that you please refrain from placing them within the cemetery grounds.

4. Should you wish to add a specific monument or structure such as a planter, vase, statue, bench or lawn ornament — to your loved one’s resting site or anywhere else in the facility — please contact the Town beforehand. That way, we can review and approve the item(s) so we know what should and shouldn’t be removed as we work to upkeep and maintain the facility later on.

5. When placing flowers in a columbarium niche, please be mindful to do so in a way that avoids impeding or obstructing others adjoining or immediately adjacent.
