Westpark Cemetery

The grave place is never a happy and comfortable place to be! I visited this place for the first time a month ago as I was video shooting and streaming one my clients funeral and burial. The place is big, so big such that if you do not know where you are burying, you end up gatecrashing someone’s funeral. The way the box is laid inside the grave is easy and professional which allows for a good Video. This month I was called again by a different person to do the same stream and the way I now know the cemetery makes it easy and worth it to help stream someone funeral for their friends who won’t be able to attend.

Shocking and disgraceful - cemetery has deterioted. No maintenance, litter all over the place. Disgusting and disrespectful from lack of management.

Great welcome from the guards
A worker helped us clean our baby's grave ???? and we paid him via cash send.

As much as this is a terribly sad place to go to. The staff on duty were helpful u0026 empathetic

A cemetery is never a happy place. Westpark in parts are well maintained and in other parts attention needs to be given to smashed tombstones and overgrown weeds.

It's no longer like before where we used to book sections. Now lately they allocate graves for undertakers and that's killing. City Parks must look into that.

May not be the cemetery's fault but we were not allowed to enter the premises by the police because it was too busy. Understandably, there were many funerals that day but we weren't party of any of them so should not be counted amongst the funeral procession. Each funeral gathering should be counted independently.

Shocking how it has deteriorated. My son was recently laid to rest with his father who passed 9 years ago. They could not find grave number in system, they wrote on scrap pieces of paper. All the items I have placed on the grave have been stolen including the metal frames that hold the temporary marble marker. The workers there who are not municipal but private workers say the theft happens after hours and the security does nothing. It's a way to get money from grieving families to ensure some kind of respect and peace by keeping Graves safe and clean. Disgusting!!!! The Grave next to my son as well as several others have sunk in, the markers are not there there are piles of rubbish under the trees and grave stones are broken and covered under long grass and debri. Shameful shameful. I will love my loved one asap. I do not recommend any government/municipal run place in this he'll whole
