Find a Cemetery

No Stone Left Alone’s goal is to honour every Canadian veteran who has passed by placing a poppy on their headstone each November. We can’t do this without your help.

Honoured in 2023

There are hundreds of thousands of veterans interred in cemeteries across the country. In fact, headstones under the care of Veterans Affairs Canada and Commonwealth War Graves Commission alone number over 216,000 in Canada. And this does not include the countless other veterans whose markers are not maintained by VAC or CWGC.

As identifying veteran burials is an ongoing effort, this data is fluid - and it does not include the countless veterans whose gravesites are not under the care of these organizations.
