Mount Royal Cemetery was the first cemetery to be located on Mount Royal on the site of old farms. Following the trend of the American rural cemetery movement, the purpose of choosing land on the mountain was to use the natural surroundings to combine horticulture and commemoration in perpetuity. The original landscaping plan laid out the site in a series of terraces which followed the natural curves of the mountain. The Mount Royal Cemetery Company is a non-profit organization administered by a Board of 21 Trustees who are all volunteers and lot owners. The Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada designated Mount Royal Cemetery as a National Historic Site in 1998 and a plaque was installed at the Cemetery's main entrance in 2002, the year of Mount Royal Cemetery's 150th anniversary.
