Cemetery rules in Nunavut
Nunavut's communities are reached by air or sealift, so memorials are planned well ahead around the summer shipping season.
Cemeteries in Nunavut 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 headstone rules guide lists the questions to ask, and we size every design to your cemetery's written by-laws.
Climate and durability
Arctic cold, permafrost and a short season
Northern Canada has extreme cold, permafrost in many places and a very short installation season. Dense, polished granite withstands the conditions; freight, foundations and setting need careful planning.
When headstones are installed
Short summer season
Monuments can usually only be set in a short summer window. Plan the order months ahead so the stone arrives in time for the season — and for sealift or road access where needed. If the burial was recent, many cemeteries also want the ground to settle first — see how long to wait after burial.
Delivering to Nunavut
Every monument is made in our own factory and delivered door-to-door under DAP terms — to the cemetery, a local monument dealer or an address you choose. Northern deliveries are planned around road, air or sealift access and the short setting season, so order well ahead. Read how DAP delivery works.
