Catholic Cemeteries – Archdiocese of Toronto -

Assumption Catholic Cemetery is located at the intersection of Tomken Road and Derry Road in Mississauga.

Over the last half of the century Toronto and vicinity became home to possibly the most diverse multi-cultural communities in the world.  Assumption Catholic Cemetery has become a distinct reflection of this cultural mosaic.  Consecrated in 1968, it has become a continued sign of the hope in the Resurrection for a number of cultures in our community.

Linking the past with the present and future, Assumption Catholic Cemetery also boasts a new crematorium and reception centre, as well as the Our Lady of Fatima Mausoleum.

In 2004, a piece of the Catholic History of the Archdiocese was restored when the relocated site of Elmbank Cemetery, home for the areas Irish Pioneers for 100 years, was rededicated at Assumption Cemetery.

Assumption Cemetery’s office also cares for and administers Mount Peace Cemetery in Mississauga,  St. Mary’s Cemetery in  Port Credit,  St. Mary’s Cemetery in Brampton and St. Joseph’s Cemetery in Streetsville.

Each of these satellite cemeteries hold their unique stories and place in our ongoing heritage.
