Georgian Cliffs Memorial Park

The Georgian Cliffs Memorial Park has been developed so that it may be a tribute to the deceased and worthy of the living in a natural and serene setting.

The scenery from this cliff is exceptional with a panoramic view of the Georgian Bay, the tall pines, glorious sunsets and sunrises.

Making the choice you can live with about your final arrangements ahead of time, saves you money, spares family from uncertainty and guarantees that your personal wishes are observed.

We look forward to accommodating our permanent and seasonal residents, memorializing the deceased interred elsewhere, and accommodating our neighbouring communities.

This is a delicate subject, however, we feel it is imperative to provide you with all the particulars and to assist with decisions affecting final resting places. The following information includes full details.

COLUMBARIUM

A columbarium is a structure designed for the purpose of interring cremated remains in a sealed compartment. The sealed compartment is known as a niche. The Georgian Cliffs Memorial Pak is the home of our first 40 niche Columbarium.

This unit is constructed of mahogany granite with 20 niches on each side. Each niche holds up to 2 urns for cremated remains. The lettering is one inch high Vermarco style for maximum capacity, inscribed in the granite niche cover, white lettering with a limit of 17 characters per line (including spaces) maximum 6 lines.

*Cost Per Niche:	First Row (across)	$1495.00

Future Proposals

We always welcome your comments and suggestions, with this new project constructive conversation benefits us all. In ground burials are not possible due to the rocky terrain, a mausoleum is a future consideration.

In closing, the following excerpt was taken from the Barrie Union Cemetery Information package.

THIS IS A CEMETERY

“Lives are commemorated - deaths are recorded - families are reunited - memories are made tangible - and love is undisguised. This is a cemetery.

Communities accord respect, families bestow reverence, historians seek information and our heritage is thereby enriched.

Testimonies of devotion, pride and remembrance are carved in stone to pay warm tribute to accomplishments and to the life - not death - of a loved one. The cemetery is a homeland for family memorials that are a sustaining source of comfort to the living.

A cemetery is a history of people - a perpetual record of yesterday and a sanctuary of peace and quiet today. A cemetery exists because every life is worth loving and remembering - always.”
