Cataraqui Cemetery, National historic cemetery in Kingston, Canada

The cemetery extends across 91 acres of terrain with rolling hills, ponds, and watercourses, featuring Gothic Revival architecture and detailed monuments.

Established in 1850 by Frederick Cornell, the cemetery received its national historic site designation in 2011 for its architectural and cultural importance.

The cemetery contains graves of 145 service members from World Wars I and II, along with sections dedicated to Queen's University research contributors.

Located three miles from Kingston's center, the cemetery maintains active burial services and preserves over 46,000 graves within its naturalistic landscape.

The grounds include the final resting place of Sir John A. Macdonald, Canada's first prime minister, whose gravesite earned historic status in 1938.
