Rocky View County owns and operates three cemeteries located within the County. Our cemeteries are a sacred place where history is kept that remind us of our past, present, and future.
Each cemetery offers a unique experience, and we encourage and welcome visitors at any of our cemeteries from sunrise to sunset, seven days a week.
The Cemetery Administration Office is located at the Rocky View Garden of Peace Cemetery, and the dedicated staff would be honored to assist your family with Pre-Need Planning, At-Need Services and a range of Memorial Markers and Monuments for any of our locations.
The administration office hours of operation are Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and is closed Saturdays, Sundays, and statutory holidays.
