The Beechwood Cemetery Company

Description

In 2001, Beechwood became the home of the National Military Cemetery of the Canadian Forces. Section 103 is dedicated to honouring the memory of Canadian service personnel who faithfully served their country in war and peace, at home and abroad, sometimes making the supreme sacrifice on its behalf. It occupies 8.29 acres of beautifully landscaped terrain that is maintained by The Beechwood Cemetery Foundation in partnership with the Department of National Defence (DND).

Beechwood, which is a National Historic Site, was established in 1873 but still has land reserves going forward for many decades. It is owned by the Beechwood Cemetery Foundation, which is a not for profit organization dedicated to carrying out its operation in the spirit of public service for the benefit of our community and our nation. In 2009, Beechwood Cemetery was designated as the National Cemetery of Canada by an Act of Parliament.

Founded in 1873, Beechwood is rich in both local and national history. Below you can find more information on specific aspects of Beechwood’s history.

Beechwood Cemetery was established in 1873, and is recognized as one of the most beautiful and historic cemeteries in Canada.
