Mixed review: (1) For the cemetery and what is contains, five stars. Agree with other reviewers. Comparable to other great 19th century cemeteries, with perhaps not as many folks of international renown. Beautiful monuments with some unusual ones mixed in, plus lovely landscaping. (2) For the management and the families of the wealthier inhabitants (or perhaps the proper word is decadents), one star. I was with a photography club there today and were warned by a particularly gnarly worker that we "needed permission" to... read more
Yeah, it definitely feels weird to rate a cemetery. But at least it's the nicest cemetery in the city. Mount Pleasant is in that nice area of uptown where there are lots of street level shops but you can still see that there was once grass beneath all the concrete. The area already has a lot of gorgeous public parks (especially around Lawrence) but Mount Pleasant takes the cake for gorgeous. I have a couple family members buried here (mostly in the indoor portion) but I do love walking through the area and exploring. Defin... read more
Mount Pleasant is reminiscent of an old European cemetery, with lots of ostentatious (and not-so-ostentatious) monuments, graves, and mausoleums. It's perhaps even more diverse, since pretty much every style of interment and marker is found here. Sure, there's lots of regular headstones, but there are also plenty of celtic crosses, obelisks, stars of David, Greco-Roman columns, and even a few Chinese monuments. Even if you don't "know" anyone who's there, it's still a pleasant (sorry) place to stroll or bike through. There ... read more
I feel weird to rate a cemetery. 4 stars, I'm not "yay! I'm a fan", but rather, "this is a really nice place". my grandma has been buried here since before I was borne. I've grown up with this cemetery and it's a place that is very close to my heart. The cemetery itself is pretty large. It covers both the East and West side of Mt Pleasant. My Grandma is buried on the East side. The first thing that you notice upon entering is what a maze it is in there. I don't think I'd be able to find my grandma's grave site if I wer... read more
My aunt took me to Mount Pleasant Cemetery on a snowy winter day. Because of the weather, we didn't spend too much time there but I had the feeling of tremendous tranquility and peace. The grounds are extensive in this historic cemetery, founded in 1876. I came to pay my respects to Glenn Gould, the brilliant and eccentric pianist who lived in and loved Toronto (and Canada). We picked up a map at the entrance and found his humble grave. It was close to quite a few Chinese graves (amusing). He chose a ground burial. ... read more
Extremely unprofessional experience! Rude service all around. They never answer the front desk calls. If they do by chance, they are rude, uninformative and unaccommodating. They offer family abroad to view a service via livestream. They have ample opportunities to ensure that the link is not only uploaded in a timely manner, but to also test for any technical issues. Instead, they leave family scrambling in panic to call their main number to no avail. Then you get their staff with a robotic repetitive script not listening... read more
Mount Pleasant Cemetery is the most prestigious in the City of Toronto, but is the worst in terms of service. Not recommended. We were shuttled between 8 different people to arrange the funeral for my son-in-law in July 2022, which was not only inefficient but extremely stressful for the family. The business model for a cemetery and funeral business is simple - make it easy for the bereaved. No one took over as the quarterback to make the process easy for us. We were bounced from one person to the next for this & for that.... read more
It is a calming and sobering place to visit and pay respects to those who left us. It is unfortunate that it appears to be in the process of being taken over by more than a few rabid cyclists and runners, most of them in racing gear. There have been several instances when they have become aggressive and swear at pedestrians and other cyclists who do not immediately and submissively get out of their way. In one occasion, one of them deliberately slammed into a pedestrian and swore at them. This is a place to be respectful, no... read more
Good place to walk around all night until you find some cigarette smoking teens. I tried to tell them about Rammstein but they didn't like that. I guess teens just don't like nice guys like me anymore.
