Headstones in Whitehorse and the Yukon

Whitehorse is home to most of Yukon's people, and the territory's cemeteries — from Whitehorse to Dawson City, Watson Lake and small First Nations communities — reflect Klondike, First Nations and northern heritage.

Cemetery rules in Yukon

Cemeteries in Yukon are mostly run by municipalities, communities and churches, each with its own rules on memorial size, materials and installation. Get those rules in writing, ask who installs and when, and submit your design for approval before production. Our cemetery headstone rules guide has a checklist of questions.

Frozen ground and a short season

Long winters and frozen ground limit installation to the short summer. Plan early, choose dense, polished granite, and confirm the foundation and installation arrangements with the cemetery.

First Nations communities

Yukon First Nations have their own burial and memorial customs, including headstone potlatches in some communities. Follow the family's and community's guidance.

Delivery north

We deliver to Whitehorse under DAP terms; smaller communities may need extra planning. Tell us the destination early.

Klondike and northern designs

Gold pans, sternwheelers, mountains, the northern lights and the Yukon River are all popular designs for Yukon families. See headstone ideas for a gold prospector and mountain scene headstones.
