- Staff locate the corresponding burial record and pull any associated lot or section information.
- Related records nearby are reviewed for additional family connections.
- Findings are shared with the family along with any recommended next steps.

Myth or Fact: Granite memorials are more vulnerable to damage in cold weather than in summer.

Fact: When moisture seeps into surface cracks and freezes, it expands — gradually widening those openings over time. This freeze-thaw cycle is one of the most consistent causes of long-term wear on granite memorials.

Cleaning before winter removes the buildup that traps moisture against the surface. Contact Eglington Cemetery to learn more about our memorial care services.

Something shifts across cemetery grounds once the season fully turns.

The warm openness of summer visits gives way to a quieter, more contained atmosphere that feels entirely its own. Cooler temperatures and changing surroundings create a stillness that many families describe as unexpectedly peaceful. Fall visits often carry a different weight — one that feels more reflective than any other time of year. What is your favorite season to visit Eglington during?

Did you know? Some of the earliest grave markers weren't placed to commemorate a life, but to protect the burial site itself — keeping it undisturbed and marked for those who needed to find it again. That practical purpose existed long before headstones became the personal tributes we recognize today.

When people think about lasting memory, the value isn't always found in the structure itself.

"What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others." — Pericles

A mausoleum doesn't replace that meaning, but it gives a family a steady, permanent place where that legacy can keep being lived out. If you'd like to learn more about mausoleum options across our four locations, reach out to our team.

A few small signs often indicate it's a good time to have a memorial professionally cleaned before fall sets in.

☐ Dark staining or discoloration on the surface
☐ Visible buildup in engraved lettering
☐ A dull or faded appearance compared to nearby memorials
☐ Moss or algae forming along the base

Addressing these signs before the season changes can help preserve the memorial's appearance for years to come. Reach out to Eglington Cemetery to learn more about our memorial power washing services.
