Cemeteries

The District of Sparwood operates and maintains two cemeteries in Sparwood, Elk Valley (Michel) Cemetery and Rivercrest Cemetery, offering traditional in ground burial for both casket and cremated remains.

Additional options for cremated remains include columbaria (above ground wall structure) and a memorial wall available at the Rivercrest Cemetery.

We work with families to honour the final wishes of those that have passed before us.  We believe that a cemetery is a place for the living to remember lives lived in a park-like, peaceful setting.

Cemetery Hours

The Elk Valley (Michel) and Rivercrest Cemeteries are open from sunrise to sunset each day and closed during darkness hours.  Any person in the cemetery outside of these hours without special permission may be subject to a fine.
