Serving all Faiths and Cultures

The city of Windsor and area’s cultural fabric has dramatically changed over the last half century, due in part to an influx of people from around the globe.

In response, Windsor Memorial Gardens has designated sections of the cemetery to accommodate different religious traditions and customs, including Catholic, Chinese, Greek, Muslim, Ukrainian and Non-Denominational.

Honouring Our Vets

For most of human history, war memorials were erected to commemorate great victories; remembering the fallen was a secondary concern. Today, the intent of war memorials is not to glorify war, but to honour those who have died.

At Windsor Grove and Windsor Memorial Gardens, all military ranks are honoured, dating back to the 19th century. Between our two facilities, we have set aside three special sections as final resting places for our war veterans.

The monument at right, located at Windsor Memorial Gardens, was erected in 1975 in memory of WWI and WWII Veterans. The inscription reads:
“By the grace of Almighty God, may all who pass this way hold sacred in their hearts the memories of those who fought and died that we might live in freedom.”
