Ontario cemetery rules
Ontario cemeteries operate under the Funeral, Burial and Cremation Services Act, 2002, administered by the Bereavement Authority of Ontario. Every cemetery has by-laws covering memorial sizes, materials, foundations and installation, and must make them available to you. Families may buy a monument from the cemetery or from an independent supplier, and cemeteries collect a regulated care and maintenance contribution on larger markers.
Most cemeteries in Timiskaming are town, township, church or association cemeteries, some run by volunteers. Find out who approves monuments, ask for any written rules, confirm who pours foundations — and if nothing is written down, request written approval of your design before production.
Climate and durability in Timiskaming
Northern Ontario — long winters, short season
Northern Ontario has long, very cold winters and a short installation season, and many communities are far apart. Dense, polished granite is essential, and delivery needs to be planned around road access and the setting season.
When headstones are installed
Short summer season
Cemeteries typically set monuments only from late spring to early autumn. Order over the winter so the stone is ready.
Delivering to Timiskaming
Finished monuments ship from our warehouse at 600 Granite Court, Pickering, and are delivered door-to-door to Temiskaming Shores, Kirkland Lake, Englehart and anywhere else in Timiskaming District. Northern deliveries are planned around road access and the cemetery's short setting season. See all our Ontario service areas.
