Cemeteries in St. John's
St. John's has municipal, church, Catholic and private cemeteries. Each sets its own rules on memorial size, style, materials and foundations, and many require a dimensioned drawing for approval before the stone is made.
Cemeteries in Newfoundland and Labrador 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. Our cemetery rules guide lists what to ask.
Climate and durability in St. John's
Coastal wind, salt and freeze-thaw
Atlantic Canada's weather combines salt air, strong coastal winds, heavy precipitation and frequent freeze-thaw cycles. Dense, polished granite stands up to all of them far better than marble or sandstone.
When headstones are installed
Spring-to-autumn installation
Cemeteries typically set monuments from spring to late autumn, around frozen or saturated ground. Order in winter for a spring installation. Allow time for design approval and production — see our ordering timeline.
