About this user

Holy Cross Cemetery is a treasured "rural cemetery" of Irish heritage in the heart of the city of Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Many Irish immigrants who arrived in Halifax prior to Confederation and many of their descendants are buried here. The Cemetery is known for its "Chapel built in a day" raised by nearly 2000 volunteers on August 31, 1843. The Cemetery is also the final resting place of Canadas fourth Prime Minister.

Our website provides information about Holy Cross Cemetery to persons who are interested in history, genealogy and the preservation of historic and cultural sites.
