Innisfail Cemetery is a very large cemetery with approximately 6,115 known interments. There are several burials in the early 1900s and it is currently active.

There is a veteran's section with a cairn dedicated to those men and women who served their country during war and peace. The head stones are traditional and there are approximately 120 at rest in this cemetery. Each Remembrance Day a Canadian Flag is placed by each veteran's grave by the Legion. The memorial is a tall pyramidal natural stone cairn, with the plaque attached to the front.
