On the Grid : Prospect Cemetery & Mausoleum

"Prospect Cemetery is one of the biggest cemeteries in Toronto and a great open space to take a walk in. However, the best reason to visit is the mausoleum. It's hard to get in the enclosed ones, but if you see someone going in, try to slip by. And if you can’t, the outdoors one is still very much worth it. There are endless walls of photos in between brass angels, Jesus and Holy Mary figurines, interrupted by luscious and sometimes very tacky bouquets of flowers. The walls intertwine and create a colourful macabre labyrinth." - Equal Parts Studio

Smashing IT! 🌹 Historical Site. Step inside one of Toronto's largest and oldest Cemeteries. Well kept and very peaceful. It's also home to Toronto's largest WW1 and WW2 grave sites. Nestled on convenient St. Clair Avenue West. Whether you're visiting, paying respect, or just taking a stroll, this is a perfect spot to find inner peace and a sense of new direction. Prospect Cemetery was established in 1890. It was designed to be a non-sectarian cemetery to serve the growing communities west of the city. Prospect Cemetery is also known for their Remembrance Day ceremonies, which began in 1928 and includes a sunrise service. The cemetery is over 100 acres and contains roughly 170k burials. Once again, this is a respectful resting place for many, and it's also a peaceful place to pay one's respect or to just find some peace in one's busy day.

What I like: -Large green space, wide roads/pathways to walk, run, bike and even drive -As a genealogist, it is a good place to do on site research, with many old headstones dating back well over a century -In a good location, accessible and has lots of parking if needed What I don't like: -Other cemetery visitors I see while visiting are often not respectful. I see people walking their dogs off leash or playing fetch, or smoking/throwing the butts away, or littering in other ways. Perhaps more patrol/security is needed. -Many of the flat headstones end up being buried by ground/soil and are not visible. More care needs to be taken so stones don't get lost to nature. -Sometimes it can be hard to locate a plot or gravesite. I wish there was a more detailed map of each section with how the plot numbers are done.

I thank Paul Acquaviva, the manager of Prospect Cemetery, for helping to resolve my parents’ stolen tombstone vase issue. It’s a beautiful cemetery vandalized by despicable thieves.

A narrow and super long cemetery, which is beautifully arranged, clean and well organized. Two roads lead through it and it has several nice corners. It’s a nice place for quiet walks. I came across two racoons. You can find there some war memorials and mausoleum too.

A lovely place to have a walk. Enjoy the changing colour of the leaves 🍁🍃🍂 and learn some history too. Particularly poignant was the memorial to fallen soldiers. The neighbourhood of Earlscourt sent 2,500 young working class British men to war, but over 320 never returned, making this the most impacted neighborhood in Canada on a per capita basis. 🇨🇦 Read about more history on the plaques that provide context on the many wars Canadians served in. The mausoleums were also of particular interest.

These are the worst people to deal with. They are only kind and care when you have to pay. They throw the wreaths out that belong to you on the garbage which is so disrespectful. The continuously break items that you place there for your loved ones with zero respect. There management team has zero respect for anything there.

I went here to try to locate the gravesite of my Great grandparents, and was very impressed by the condition of the grounds and the helpful staff. I dropped into the office and was given maps and great instructions on locating the marker and with the help of a friendly groundkeeper I was able to find the marker. This is also a pleasant place just for a nice walk.

I visited Prospect Cemetery yesterday to pay my respects to my wife's 2 brothers. I couldn't locate the plot but I knew the section (31-S). Two of your workers noticed me looking so they offered to help me find the gravesite. They asked me for the name that appeared on the plate. One of them knew the exact spot. The worker's names are Chris and Toto. They were very understanding and respectful. My heartfelt thanks go out to the both of them.
