Mount Olivet
Mount Olivet Cemetery 7076 Mumford Rd., Halifax.
Since 1896, the peaceful grounds of Mount Olivet Roman Catholic Cemetery in the west end of Halifax have offered a quiet and gentle final resting place. Statues and monuments speak of those who have died at historic moments in Nova Scotia, including the Titanic Disaster and the Halifax Explosion. With little hills, shady trees, a wandering stream, and rock walls bordering Mumford Rd and Joseph Howe Avenue, Mount Olivet provides a surprisingly tranquil respite in the midst of the city. Mount Olivet Cemetery has a cremation garden and a columbarium for cremation burial.
