The RCMP National Memorial Cemetery
(RCMP NMC) at Beechwood Cemetery
Ottawa, ON

The RCMP NMC is meant to compliment the Regimental Cemetery at ‘Depot’ and provides an option to all former and serving members in choosing their final resting place in a dignified sanctuary of peace exclusively dedicated to our police family.
The legacy pathway of the RCMP NMC is modeled on Northern Ireland Royal Ulster Constabulary St. George’s Garden of Remembrance which is a learning pathway that attests to the history of the RUC and a fitting memorial to the 308 Officers killed during the thirty years of the period commonly known as the “Troubles”.
The RCMP NMC pathway will reflect on the Force’s storied history so that visitors and school classes will have an opportunity to learn and understand why there is national pride in our organization and international recognition.
