Welcome
Welcome to the home of the National RCMP Graves Database. Here you will find a database of 13,670 deceased NWMP, RNWMP and RCMP going back to 1873. As well, thousands of grave sites have been identified and more are constantly being found, reported, inspected and cared for.
Hundreds of photos of gravesites have been entered into the database. Photos of grave sites are uploaded to the site every day.
Obituaries of deceased members are also being added into the database. Obituaries as a source of research and remembrance are always welcome.
Along with photos and obituaries, there are also other pictures of Memorials to RCMP members across the world: Canada, Italy, France, South Africa and Belguim. Personal stories from families and friends detailing the lives of deceased Members of the Force can also be found.

'Whenever News Is Grave'
Mission Statement:
Veterans of the RCMP are dedicated to the responsibility of locating, inspecting and maintaining grave sites of deceased Members with the purpose of honouring and remembering these men and women who have dedicated their lives to the service of Canada and the Force.
Goals:
The goals of the National RCMP Graves Inspection and Maintenance Program are:
- to create a thorough and accurate record of the burial locations of NWMP, RNWMP and RCMP deceased members,
- to ensure that the graves of our deceased members are regularly inspected and maintained.
An Invitation:
All Vets and Active Members are invited to become involved in the National RCMP Graves Inspection and Maintenance Program.
Much data has yet to be collected. Many volunteers are needed to aid the investigation of cemeteries, as well as to assume responsibility for inspections of grave sites as they are found.
Input that contributes to this website is welcome. The involvement of many will make the work associated to this project possible.
I am honoured to be involved in the meaningful task of remembering and offering continued respect to our deceased RCMP Members.
Motto:
"Maintain Our Memories" has been adopted as the motto of the new website. It calls to mind both the official motto of the RCMP and our need to remember. The motto pays homage to the Force and to the service performed by members down through the years.
