Woodlawn Cemetery Guidelines for Gravesite Memorials
April 17, 2025 - 10:00am
- Only approved monuments or memorials are considered permanent items and are permitted to remain in the cemetery year-round. All other items placed on a gravesite, flowerbed, monument, or concrete foundation are considered temporary and will be removed periodically.
- Flowers and other items are permitted on the gravesite the day of the burial and will be left for a period of seven calendar days. After this time, items will be removed by the City. Please note, the City does not take responsibility for any removed, damaged, or missing items placed in the cemetery by the public.
- Families may establish a flowerbed at the gravesite upon approval from the Cemetery Office, except for military burials in the Field of Honour and flat marker areas. Annual flowers are allowed, provided they do not hang over the edge of the flowerbed or impede maintenance of adjacent gravesites. Flowerbeds must be approved by the Cemetery Office before installation to ensure they are within guidelines.
- Items not allowed in flowerbeds include shrubs, perennials, decorative fencing, rocks, stones, concrete, and breakable or fragile items.
- The City assumes no responsibility for the appearance, maintenance and fall cleanup of approved flowerbeds planted by the public. If flowerbeds are neglected, they will be removed.
As the weather warms, cemetery staff will begin spring cleanup of the cemetery grounds. The City of Saskatoon reminds visitors to the Woodlawn Cemetery of the guidelines in place for gravesite memorials. These guidelines are intended to maintain a pleasant environment and respect the final resting place of loved ones:
From May 1 to October 15:
Cemetery visiting hours are 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. daily. The Cemetery Office is open from 8:00 a.m. to 4:20 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding statutory holidays. For all inquiries, contact the Cemetery Office at 306-975-3308 or cemetery@saskatoon.ca.
