For half a century, families in Calgary and neighbouring communities have come to appreciate Mountain View Memorial Gardens for its beautiful panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains, city skyline and expansive prairie. Our 122 acres create a warm and relaxing atmosphere for friends and families to gather and reminisce. The cemetery is graced with mature trees, benches, colourful flower gardens, Italian marble statuary and two sparkling ponds, which feature water fountains and a home to waterfowl. The added convenience of our on-site funeral home, constructed in 1985, has ensured that Mountain View will continue to meet the evolving needs of today’s families from one beautiful full-service location.
