Canadian Virtual War Memorial

The OTTAWA CREMATION MEMORIAL is in Beechwood Cemetery, in the east end of the city. It commemorates over 20 servicemen, most of whom were Canadians, who were cremated in various places, both in Canada and the United States. Facing the soldier's plot in the cemetery, this unusual memorial stands in front of a screen of pines and spruce. The OTTAWA CREMATION MEMORIAL consists of a marble shelter housing a bronze plaque which reads:
IN HONOURED MEMORY OF THESE OFFICERS AND MEN
WHO DIED IN CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
AND WHOSE MORTAL REMAINS WERE COMMITED TO FIRE.
