The Hillcrest Cemetery was the private burial ground for one of the earliest Smiths Falls families, the Simpson’s.

Purchased in 1869 by the Town of Smiths Falls, this public non-denominational cemetery is now the final resting place to over 10,000 people.
Decoration Day is an opportunity to remember and pay our respects to our loved ones and friends. A non-denominational service will be offered in partnership with officiant Jill Turnbull and the Smiths Falls Legion Branch 95 Colour Guard in memory of our local veterans.
With great thanks and appreciation the Smiths Falls Hillcrest Cemetery would like to recognize the support of its Decoration Day sponsors: the Town of Smiths Falls, Kinkaid & Loney Monuments, Costello & Company Monuments, Blair & Son Funeral Home, Lannin Funeral Home, Dale Younge Concrete Burial Vaults, Smiths Falls Legion Branch 95 and Jill Turnbull.
