City Cemeteries
The city maintains two cemeteries: Baker (Canoe) and Mt. Ida.
Baker Cemetery is no longer active and is located in North Canoe. Mt. Ida Cemetery, established in 1894, is approximately 110 acres of which only nine acres are suitable for cemetery development. There are approximately 75 to 80 interments per year. Recently, the city has installed a 24 unit columbarium to facilitate cremation interments.
The Mount Ida Cemetery is approaching capacity prompting the City to acquire a third parcel of land located at 2700 – 20 Avenue SE. The Cemetery shall be deemed open at seven (7) a.m. every morning and closed at eight (8) p.m.
