Cemeteries
We operate and care for 11 cemeteries throughout the city of Thorold; two active cemeteries, and nine historical cemeteries. Lakeview Cemetery, established in 1886, lies hidden in a secluded, wooded area on the east side of the Welland Canal, close to the Niagara Escarpment. Old Lakeview is situated to the west of Lock 7, which offers a spectacular view of ships and, on clear days, Toronto's skyline. The serene atmosphere at Lakeview surrounds the mausoleum, columbarium, and grounds, and provides a peaceful resting place for your loved ones.
The Lakeview Cemetery Mausoleum is now open daily from dawn to dusk, including holidays. The Administration Office is open from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday to Friday, excluding holidays. To make an appointment, please contact our Cemetery Services Division at 905-227-6613 x264 or cemetery.services@thorold.ca
