Nestled among second growth forest at the base of Rainbow Mountain, the Whistler Cemetery is a sanctuary for peace and remembrance. The cemetery is operated by the Resort Municipality of Whistler. It is located on Alta Lake Road, approximately 800 metres from Rainbow Park.

Since 1996, the cemetery has provided for the burial of human bodies and human cremains. In 2003, Columbarium Walls, a Scattering Garden and more burial plots were added. Since then, there has been limited upgrades and expansion works within the grounds.

In Spring 2023, a small expansion area in the southwestern corner will be added to accommodate immediate needs. However, this small expansion will not fulfil future needs.

To inform future expansion, the RMOW is undertaking the development of a Whistler Cemetery Master Plan to progress the municipal cemetery towards financial sustainability, increased capacity, enhanced burial options and customer service, enhanced ecological function, and community meaning. This will also include a bylaw update to be compliant with current BC cemetery legislation and to include content that is both current with existing cemetery services and also considers potential new services. The outcomes of the Master Plan will provide a platform upon which future planning decisions for the Cemetery can be confidently made.
