Lonely Planet review for Cimetière Notre-Dame-des-Neiges

More than one million people have found their final resting place here since this Catholic cemetery opened in 1854, making it the largest cemetery in Canada. It has a few intriguing mausoleums that emit solemn music, including that of Marguerite Bourgeoys, a nun and teacher who was beatified in 1982. The catalog of permanent guests includes 20 Montréal mayors, several ex-passengers of the Titanic, and Calixa Lavallée, the composer of ‘O Canada.’ The cemetery office has brochures for self-guided tours around the tombs but there’s also a map posted at the entrance.
