Prospect Cemetery

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.

My son was devastated to see the condition of the gravesite of his great grandmother. Twelve years, thousands of hours and dollars spent by my Mom all destroyed. My Grandmother's grave had 2 small trees and planted varieties of flowers placed all around our family plot. People would ask her what landscaper she had hired. It was her, my Mom, lovingly, carefully and meticulously maintaining our family plot. This summer someone had cut the two trees and all the flowers were gone. There are two small tree stumps left and no flowers. She is older now, heartbroken and devastated how she wasn't informed someone had removed all of her years of hard efforts maintaining her mom's grave. Not one phone call to let her know the gravesite was obliterated. Myself being the granddaughter and my son, (great grandson) are very shocked, disappointed and disgusted. The gravesite looks barren as if it was just dug up. There are patches of dirt all the way around the perimeter of the headstone, due to the cut missing trees and flowers. Will this reoccur when my Mom is laid to rest? I will be the one caring for the family plot just as my Mom did for her mother! This needs to be addressed and rectified. It's not right. Please don't sweep this one under the carpet. Thank you.

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.

My only complaint about this cemetery is that there are no animal sighting warning signs. I tried to go for a walk through the cemetery in October but 5 minutes into my walk, a coyote appeared 3 metres away from where I was standing. I was on the paved pathway and so was the coyote. It did not move at all and was just watching me. I slowly walked back to the Rogers Rd entrance/exit to avoid getting chased. I understand there is wildlife around and we need to share our land; however, while I was walking back I called the cemetery and notified them of the spotting. The lady on the phone mentioned that they knew there were coyotes there, they have been there for years and are more likely to make appearances during certain times. Had there been a coyote sighting warning sign, I would have avoided walking through the cemetery on a fall evening. I told them that they should probably put a sign to warn people as this is a scary situation to be in for some people. I walked by the cemetery entrance not too long ago and there is still no sign posted. I would hate for someone else to go through the terrifying feeling of fear that I went through that could have been completely avoided. I love walking through this cemetery in the summer and will continue to do so. It’s well maintained and extreme peaceful. I will just be avoiding the cemetery when the leaves start to change colours. Updated 2024 blurb: I don’t usually update my reviews but I feel like this is justified. I have been walking through the cemetery more frequently this summer at various times during the day and it is still so well maintained despite the state of the city. Such a breath of fresh air and wonderful to see. I’ve seen the employees put in fantastic effort into keeping the place well kept and they are also so kind.

I visited here on the 4th of October. I cannot praise the staff enough for assisting me to find the grave sites of my relatives. I had contacted the cemetery previously by email and received plot numbers and maps. When I arrived at the office I was warmly welcomed and given more information to enable me to find what I was looking for. When I was out in the cemetery and a little bit lost I was able to ring the office and receive friendly and helpful information from a very patient staff member. I would like to pass on my thanks to all concerned. I hope that you may be able to solve the puzzle of the memorial stone

since January 3rd 2024 My brother's burial. One disappointment after another from management supervisors and workers. They just look at you and see you as money symbol there’s no respect whatsoever for your family that we’re laid to rest I've Encountered numerous of issues. on separate occasions flowers were laid on top of the Grave from the funeral home not even 7 days. had gone by .The flowers were perfectly fine especially winter time flowers last longer a lot longer .And they tossed all the flowers in the garbage left the grave looking like my brother wasn't even buried there. (There are graves with flowers from funeral home over a month) witnessed another incident on a Saturday afternoon a heavy duty truck with construction materials backing in drove over all the graves Especially my brothers. On the way out. Did the exact same thing dragging my brother's Reef? Away from its original place and continued and totally ignored or acknowledged any of the stuff that they were doing. very disappointing on my family and I have witnessed and very sad on what gos on at the cemetery!

The place for a long and quiet walk while you want to enjoy the nature... :)
