Plan ahead for your final resting place

To prepare in advance for the eventuality of death is not only proper forethought, but an outstanding act of consideration for every member of your family. Pre-arrangements lighten the emotional and financial burdens placed on loved ones in their time of need, while ensuring that your wishes are respected when you are gone.

District staff can help with your pre-arranged burial arrangements at the District Office located at 136 Spruce Avenue.  We offer hassle-free, no obligation consultation and provide full disclosure of property and service prices.  The District provides several memorial options for you to choose from. 

How to arrange a burial or interment

There are many ways to remember loved ones who are no longer part of our daily lives. Memories can be private or public, tangible or intangible, and often, are both. If you wish to purchase a final resting space in one of the two cemeteries within the District of Sparwood, you will need to contact the District Office to select the cemetery of your choice and location from the areas available. 

Interments and plot maintenance

Care and maintenance for each site is included in the fees and charges of a cemetery space. This includes seeding and re-seeding of plots and lot surfaces, seasonal cutting of grass and weeds, and other maintenance to ensure a tidy and well-kept appearance.

How to sell, transfer, and refund an interment space

The District does not allow the private resale of interment spaces. However, you may transfer interment spaces or return unused spaces to us for a refund, less Care Fund contributions.
