| - I don't know why this Yelp profile is named "Mount Pleasant Group of Cemeteries". That's the company name. Their office is on Overlea Boulevard in East York, in case anyone is wondering.
Any way, I'll review the Mount Pleasant cemetery itself. Well...
I have relatives in this cemetery, so I go every so often. It's one of Toronto's greatest and most historic places, in my opinion.
I see runners and cyclists there all the time, and I don't blame them for coming, it's great place to bike and walk!
The Gardens of Remembrance (the one with fountain) are specific for cremation and it's really nice! It includes a glass "house" called the Conservatory.
There are so many famous faces buried here. William Lyon Mackenzie King, Igor Korolev, Glenn Gould, and more.
They also have a mausoleum, but it's eerie and not the best I've seen. If you want a nice mausoleum, maybe check out Holy Cross, Westminster, Prospect, or Elgin Mills. They have nicer mausoleums.
Whether you love historic cemeteries, or if you're just taking a nice stroll, come to MP! :)
