Cemetery in Victoria

Creating a memorial provides family and friends with a place to grieve, reflect and remember.  From an elaborate mausoleum to a customized bronze plaque, we offer special and meaningful ways to commemorate a unique life. Hatley Memorial Gardens boasts a  beautiful woodland setting, nestled between the Royal Roads University and Galloping Goose Trail.

Regardless of whether cremation or traditional burial is chosen, our caring staff offers the guidance and direction you need to make the perfect choices.  To make sure there are no missteps, we work closely with your funeral home and/or place of worship.

Make a Tribute that Makes a Statement

There are many ways to honour a life. We have countless memorials options available, including:

• Bronze memorials, placed on a granite base and generally flush with the ground, these can also be used to enhance outdoor columbarium niches for cremated remains.
• Upright monuments, placed on a minimum four-foot concrete pad to avoid leaning in the long-term and crafted from the finest granite.
• The Living Tribute Program, which plants a tree in the cemetery to honour the spirit of your loved one, with an accompanying plaque that identifies the family and/or person being memorialized.
• Benches, and garden features such as rocks and sundials are a uniquely natural way to memorialize your loved one.
• Indoor glass-front columbarium niches, which hold cremated remains, allow year-round visitation in a comfortable setting.
• Outdoor columbarium niches place cremated remains in a tranquil and natural setting.
• Crypts hold multiple generations of a family. With virtually any shape, style or size available, we can design anything you would like to honour your family. 
• Mausoleums are climate-controlled buildings that  house both crypts and niches. We offer special areas for specific religious or family customs.

The addition of pictures, etchings of memorable scenes and engraved epitaphs can further individualize your memorial.
