Non-denominational Municipal Cemetery in 2026
The Town of Stony Plain continues to make steady progress toward opening its non-denominational municipal cemetery in 2026, with construction nearing completion and operational planning well underway. Council received an update on key milestones and the phased approach to opening later this year.
Phase 2
July: Scattering garden anticipated to open once installation is complete.
Phase 3
September: Burial plots expected to become available following sufficient turf establishment for ground stability and site aesthetics. Includes traditional, green burial, and cremation plots.
Interment Options
Traditional monument burials, flat marker burials, green burial options, columbarium, family columbaria, dedicated Veteran’s area, and a scattering garden.
Mayor William Choy: “The municipal cemetery is an important long-term investment in our community. This space has been thoughtfully designed to provide a peaceful, dignified place of remembrance that will serve residents and families for generations.”
Paul Simons, Manager of Infrastructure Operations: “A thoughtful, phased approach gives the landscaping time to properly establish and allows us to finalize operational procedures. Completing the remaining groundwork and site preparation will help ensure the cemetery opens in a respectful and fully prepared manner.”
The Town will continue to share updates as key milestones approach.
Display boards with information on the proposed plan will be posted around the venue and will also be available online. This provides opportunities for those who are not able to attend the Open House to provide feedback electronically.
