Scope and Content

This project series documents the design of a mausoleum and crematorium for the Park Lawn Cemetery in Toronto in 1975. The office identified the project number as 7520.

Located on the corner of Bloor Street and Prince Edward Drive, this project consisted of a mausoleum with a 7,300 crypt capacity, a 100 seat funeral space, and areas for coats, family members, and clergy. The project was divided into three phases of crypt construction. It is not clear from the materials if this project was ever realized.

The project is recorded through drawings, correspondence and conference reports dating from1975-1976. The drawings consist of a site plan, floor plan and sections.
