Lonely Planet review

More than one million people have found their final resting place here since this Catholic cemetery opened in 1854, replacing the old one at Dominion Square downtown. It has a fascinating bunch of mausoleums that emit solemn music. The cemetery office has brochures for self-guided tours around the tombs but there's also a map posted at the entrance.

The catalog of permanent guests includes Marguerite Bourgeoys, a nun and teacher who was beatified in 1982, 20 Montréal mayors, several ex-passengers of the Titanic and Calixa Lavallée, the composer of O Canada
