Reservations and Internment Requests
To reserve a plot or request a burial, please contact the Public Works Department at public-works@peaceriver.ca or 780-624-3085 to schedule an appointment for plot reservations or burial arrangements. Appointments help us coordinate cemetery services and ensure staff are available to assist you.
*All interment/burial requests require a minimum notice of 72 hours prior to interment during regular office hours after payment, completed application forms, and required supporting documentation (a burial permit) have been received by the Town.
If a burial must be arranged on short notice and the 72-hour notice requirement cannot be met, the Public Works Manager may, at their discretion, arrange for a contractor to complete the grave excavation, provided that all required documentation, application forms, and payments have been received by the Town. This may be necessary when Public Works is unable to accommodate the request within its operational schedule. Any costs associated with hiring a contractor will be the responsibility of the purchaser.
Burial Permits
All internments require a burial permit. Burial permits can be obtained through a provincial registries’ office. The Peace River Registries office is located here: Association of Alberta Registry Agents Member - Peace River Registries (aara.ca)
