Despite living in Ottawa for a long time, and even attending a funeral here a few years ago, I only learned about the history of this remarkable cemetery during a recent guided tour. It is absolutely worth a visit if you want to learn more about Ottawa's history. Note: The photos of the actors in costume are from the cemetery's annual historical walk, which took place this year on September 10.

Just the place for a nice serene stroll. Saw no other visitors on a weekday afternoon.

Beautiful old and new sections of the military cemetery within Beechwood, the most park-like cemetery I've ever seen. Large, old-growth trees, open spaces, numerous flower beds and more. During the summer there are always people walking, jogging, cycling and sightseeing in the park. The military cemetery is just east of the RCMP section. There are numerous plaques with some interesting historical facts located throughout.

We attended one of their Historical Events and it was entertaining and extremely informative. They are truly making a mark in making sure history is known and lives on. Beechwood is more than a resting place. Look forward to coming again soon.

(edited)In my personal opinion. During my visit, I saw a silver-blonde-haired woman with a black and white border collie practicing jumps over the graves. It was very upsetting to see this kind of activity in a cemetery, a place meant for peace and respect toward those who have passed away. On top of that, the area is full of dog waste, which shows a lack of care from pet owners (The dog waste, was removed next day I walked there). Cemeteries should be treated with dignity, not as dog parks or training grounds. I believe dogs should be banned from this site to maintain respect for the deceased and their families.
