Mount Hermon Cemetery, Protestant cemetery in Sillery, Canada

Mount Hermon Cemetery is a garden cemetery of 11 hectares at the corner of chemin Saint-Louis and côte de Sillery, in the Sillery district of Quebec City. Its layout was designed in 1848 by the American engineer David Bates Douglass, who modelled it on Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn. Paved roads and a single dirt track lead across grounds overlooking the St. Lawrence River to the southeast.

The cemetery was founded in 1848 when Quebec City's Anglican burial ground reached full capacity and a new Protestant burial site was needed. It grew to become a major resting place for Protestant communities and reflects their development in the region.

Sections of the cemetery are reserved for the Greek Orthodox, Chinese and Cambodian communities, and the Treggett Bell honours a family whose members served as superintendents across four generations, from 1865 to 2014. A monument added in 2002 commemorates the 179 victims of the Montreal Steamer buried here, the second deadliest maritime disaster on the St. Lawrence.

The cemetery features a Gothic Revival building and a receiving vault on the grounds, used for storing remains during winter months. Visitors should expect uneven terrain and winding paths as they explore the property.

The cemetery holds a memorial dedicated to those who perished in the 1914 Empress of Ireland maritime disaster, one of the worst maritime accidents in Canadian history. This memorial reminds visitors of a tragedy that claimed hundreds of lives.
