Mount Hope Catholic Cemetery, Toronto

As the Catholic Community grew, Mount Hope Cemetery opened its gates on Erskine Avenue in 1900. At that time parish cemeteries continued to meet the needs of the population outside of the city of Toronto. After World War II, the Archdiocese experienced unprecedented growth. The once predominantly Irish Catholic Church was soon transformed into a multi-cultural mosaic.

In 1900, Mount Hope Catholic Cemetery opened its gates to care for the growing Catholic community of Toronto. Over the next century Mount Hope Catholic Cemetery became the resting place for many Catholics who shaped and built our city, leaders in culture, arts, government, entertainment, scholarship, sports and the Church.  The collection of unique family mausoleums and monuments that stand among the great natural beauty of mature trees and shrubbery speak of their faith. As the needs of the Catholic community have evolved so has Mount Hope Catholic Cemetery. Rich in heritage, it continues to be a hidden gem in the heart of Toronto providing both ground and cremation burial options. With thoughtful pre-planning and interest -free payments, you can secure your final resting place today for you and your family.
