Headstones in Grande Prairie and the Peace Region

Grande Prairie is the centre of Alberta's Peace Region, serving oil, gas, forestry and farm families across a wide area of northern Alberta and northeastern BC.

Cemetery rules in Alberta

Cemeteries in Alberta are regulated provincially, and each cemetery — municipal, church, Catholic or private — sets its own by-laws on memorial size, materials, foundations and installation. Ask for them in writing before you order.

Whatever the cemetery, the practical steps are the same: get its rules on sizes, materials, foundations and installation in writing, ask for the full fee schedule, and submit your design for approval before production. Our cemetery headstone rules guide has a checklist of questions.

Northern frost

Deep frost and long winters mean a shorter installation season, usually late spring to early autumn. Order over the winter so your stone is ready, and choose dense, polished granite with deep lettering.

Work and land

Oilfield, forestry, trucking and farming designs are popular. See headstone ideas for a truck driver and farm scene headstones.

Veterans

Eligible Canadian veterans may qualify for a grave marker through Veterans Affairs Canada or the Last Post Fund, and families can also choose a private granite monument with service details. See Last Post Fund markers and military inscriptions.
