The Cemetery :: Corporate History

Historic Designation   Designated as a National Historic Site by The Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada in 2002, Beechwood is one of only a few cemeteries in the nation to have received this honourable title. Characterized by its tree-lined winding roads, shrubs, ornamental plants, and monuments of considerable artistic and historical significance, Beechwood proudly exemplifies the type of rural cemetery that emerged in Canada and the United States in the 19th century.
