We laid my mother to rest this year. The section her and my father are buried has to be the most peaceful, tranquil places. I love how you have made a cemetery be a place that is welcoming. The water features, the beautiful old trees are perfect! As a child we used to always venture into the cemetery to investigate the war tanks and of course visit the green house. Beautiful grounds and the staff were so helpful. We wanted a quiet time to intern Mum and we got just that. Thank you to everyone involved for making the day flawless!

A very lovely place.probably the best (and most peaceful) time to visit is in the late afternoon/evening and weekends,

I personally want Imre S to be recognized for his patience, great service, compassion and understanding. He went above and beyond to ensure I felt heard and comfortable with everything we discussed. Not once did I feel rushed, pushed and like he was trying to "make a sale". We were preplanning and I had attempted with a couple of others but never took the plunge. The others felt like "a sale" nothing personal, no compassion, rushed, almost forced. Imre service was excellent! It wasn't a one day affair, as I came back a few times to look at examples he provided, went through my concerns, just made sure that I was completely comfortable with the whole process. Amazing young gentleman, professional but with a heart and soul. This is the kind of individual you want to have in these tough times and situations. It's already uncomfortable to make the decision to preplan and even harder for those who are grieving a loss. These are the kind of people that should be employed within an organization as such and highly recognized for the outstanding services. The Mount Pleasant Group is lucky to have such an individual working for them. Highly recommend this gentleman! If you want someone that is caring, compassionate, a professional with a heart and soul and who will ensure that he answers all of your questions, ask for Imre.

York cemetery provides a detailed and caring service. I dealt with Wendy, Vivian, and Jennifer and they were all exceptional.

Great place for a stress relieving morning or evening walk. Very well maintained with beautiful plants and trees as well as water bodies.

York Cemetery is a truly magnificent, tranquil place with stunning landscaping and devoted and caring staff.
My special thanks to Mr. Peter Summers for expeditiously resolving
a problem with compassion, care, and far beyond our expectations.
We are very grateful and thank him from the bottom of our hearts.
The Cemetery should be proud to have this very special men on their team.
I would like to thank Mrs. Elizabeth Cunningham as well for her warmth and understanding.

A beautiful cemetery & well taken care of plus nicely landscaped.
NOW would be a GREAT idea to put out at least TWO Portable Toilets to allow anyone, but esp.older people visiting their loved ones to be able to use them as the washrooms in the office are STILL closed off.
I am disappointed that this had NOT been done yet! I'm sure the organization can afford to do this! JUST DO IT!

Great location but constant delays and broken promises when it comes to delivering services such as inscription which is paid up front and it takes about 4 months during the summer to get their supplier to come out to put a date on an existing grave marker. Ask yourself why a cemetery would continue to use only one supplier when that supplier takes months longer than others, doesn't delivery per agreed upon deadlines and charges more!

Beautifully maintained and exceptionally respectful employees. I cannot recommend York cemetery enough to those who must make a decision in times like these.

Beautiful, well maintained garden. Can’t believe a peaceful place like this exist so close to busy Yonge street with all the activities and traffic

Credit should be given where credit is due. The utmost professional and dignified place and service. Thank you so much for honouring my Mom in this manner. She would have loved it. Now I know why she chose this as her final resting place.

Thank you to Emmeline and Vivian and the team at the York Funeral home. Very caring team with immaculate attention to detail and timely followups. Took care of us when we needed it the most. Your professional and empathetic support was greatly appreciated.

A huge and heartfelt “Thank-You” to the staff at York Cemetery and Funeral Home; especially to Imre Szabo (Funeral Director) who went above and beyond in his duties and took such good care of our family during a difficult time. Imre was professional, knowledgeable, patient, kind and fun. Our family had planned a joyful, contemporary, and God-centred celebration for our mother starting with the morning burial, the afternoon service, and ending with a relaxed and casual reception. Imre and the additional staff involved in assisting us, went out of their way to meet all our requests. Again, “Thank- You”.

The building on the grounds where we held our mother’s service and reception was bright, classy, and cheerful; one of the nicest I have personally been in. The property is well kept and park-like. The location is easy to find and there is plenty of parking
