Victory Memorial Park in Surrey comprises 36 acres of park-like property with views of the Vancouver Coastal Mountains, mature trees and impeccable landscaping. All around our beautiful cemetery birds sing and water trickles. It truly is a peaceful and reflective place.
The Veteran Memorial Trust Association opened what would become Victory Memorial Park in 1955 as Veterans Memorial Park. The 1st burial took place in March of 1959. Soon after, a 65-foot military cross was constructed; howitzer guns were placed on either side.
In the 1970s, the cemetery went from mainly a place for military members and their families to a public cemetery. The howitzer guns were donated to the City of White Rock and the Vancouver Armoury. Though Victory Memorial Park is no longer an exclusively veterans’ cemetery, we still honour the veterans buried here each Remembrance Day.
Victory Memorial Park now has sections designated for members of religious organizations such as Beth Tikvah Jewish Congregation (Richmond), St. Vartan’s Armenian Church, Canadian Hussaini Association, Aga Khan, Armenian Church and the British Columbia Muslim Association.
