Elgin Mills Cemetery

Elgin Mills Cemetery has proudly served the communities of Richmond Hill, Markham, Aurora and Thornhill since 1979. The headwaters of the Rouge River run through the east end of this young, vibrant cemetery. The numerous trees planted throughout Elgin Mills include a collection of nut-bearing trees that blossom in the spring. The cemetery’s large flowerbeds are planted seasonally, and feeding stations attract birds and wildlife
