St-Rédempteur Cemetery
25, Cité-des-Jeunes blvd., Gatineau, (Hull sector)
Established in 1914
A 15-acre landscaped and wooded property where peaceful beauty, tranquility, respect and serenity prevail.
The St-Rédempteur Cemetery is located at the intersection of Blvd. Gamelin and Blvd. Cité-des-Jeunes (Hull Sector). By 1910, the Parish of Très St-Rédempteur had purchased land for a cemetery on Blvd. St. Joseph (then Chelsea Road), which is now the site of the St-Joseph Cathedral. Following protests from several neighbours, the provincial government refused to grant the required permit. Meanwhile, a group of business people bought part of the land, which allowed the priest of the parish, in 1914, to acquire another plot of land of eight hectares outside the city limits of Hull, at the corner of the current Blvd. Gamelin. The records of the cemetery began in 1916.
In 1999, Les Jardins du Souvenir sold a parcel of land to the Cooperative funeraire de l'Outaouais to build a funeral home. It is important to note that the Cooperative funeraire de l'Outaouais is a distinct business entity.
