The Grandview Cenotaph is set in a triangular shaped plot of land that was originally designated as Grandview Memorial Park. It was donated by the Town of Grandview and it is understood that the Town and the Rural Municipality supported the original construction of the cenotaph which was turned over to Branch 14 of the Royal Canadian Legion to use and maintain.
Originally erected to commemorate those who lost their lives in the First World War, plaques were added in the late 1940’s to recognize those who served and died in the Second World War. In July of 2005, two plaques, one to honour Korean War Veterans and one for Peacekeeping Veterans were added.
The cenotaph sits on an oversized concrete base and is a large cairn constructed of concrete covered with small rounded river stones. Concrete sidewalks are on all four sides of the base and a concrete sidewalk leads southeast to the cenotaph from Main Street. It is lit with three ground-mounted floodlights and a white-painted flagpole sits to the south west of the cenotaph.
A Memorial Bell and First World War Tablet are located to the north of the cenotaph.
