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.
LEST WE FORGET
DEDICATED TO THE GLORY OF GOD
AND TO THE MEMORY OF
THE MEN & WOMEN
WHO SERVED OUR COUNTRY
IN WAR & PEACE
The cemetery includes the Foothills Scattering Garden with several names listed not too far from the Veteran's section.
This is a beautifully maintained cemetery with very large evergreen trees in the older section of the cemetery. In the newer section are much less trees probably easier to maintain. The headstones in this newer area are smaller and very traditional in design.
