Georgian Cliffs Memorial Park Cemetery

Georgian Cliffs Memorial Park has been developed as 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 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.
