St. Mary’s Cremation Garden

/ Landscape Architecture

The City of Calgary retained GSP Group to design and develop the new St. Mary’s Cremation Garden, integrating an existing heritage monument. Based on recommendations made as part of a previous business plan, GSP Group designed a concept that ultimately became the Seven Graces of Mary Columbarium Garden which seamlessly integrates the historical nature of the site with extensive vistas of downtown Calgary. A granite statue of Mary provides a secondary focal point. Construction of the cremation garden was completed in 2018.
