Welcome to St. James Cemetery and Crematorium, Toronto's oldest operating cemetery. Opened in July of 1844, it is blessed with a rich history, beautiful grounds and the lovely and historic Chapel of St.-James-the-Less. We invite you to browse our site and to explore for yourself St. James' unique beauty and the extensive range of services offered. Casket Graves: Each single grave will accommodate two casket interments and also allow for the interment of cremated remains. Many of the locations available permit an upright monument. Cremation Burial Plots : For those who prefer in-ground interment of cremated remains. Included is a blank 18”x12” unpolished pink granite flat memorial marker. Each plot will accommodate one to four interments. Columbarium Niches: Our freestanding granite columbarium is located in an attractive landscaped setting. Each niche will accommodate a maximum of two standard size cremation urns.

Memorial Trees & Plaques: The memorial tree program not only provides another means to commemorate life, but also helps to improve the environment and beautify the cemetery. Markers and Monuments:A wide range of designs and granites are available for sale through the cemetery office. We will work with you to design and personalize a memorial that reflects the individual. Pre-Need Services: Pre-planning of cemetery services is available through our office. Pre-planning gives you the time to make decisions and provides you and your family peace of mind. By purchasing at today’s prices, you protect yourself from inflationary increases in the future.
