History:

To accommodate rapid expansion in the Stoney Creek urban area above and below the Niagara Escarpment, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Hamilton purchased property on the Escarpment during the 1990s for a new Catholic cemetery. The 100 acre is situated between Green Mountain Road East and Mud Street East and is expected to serve this area of Hamilton for the next hundred years.

When the site was visited in 2004, the cemetery entrance on Mud Street and the surrounding area had been landscaped and an office opened to serve the public. Since the cemetery has only been open for four years, the number of monuments is still small.

Sweeping front gates and a striking statue of Mary, Queen of the World, make Our Lady of the Angels a landmark in its country setting on Mud Street East (Stoney Creek mountain). Opened in 2000, Our Lady of the Angels is a popular choice for the Catholic community in east Hamilton, Stoney Creek and the western end of the Niagara Peninsula.

Our Lady of the Angels offers in-ground full burial and cremation lots for cremated remains. The cemetery includes Our Lady of the Angels Mausoleum with both crypt and niche spaces.
