The cemetery has miles of drives and walking paths, interspersed with fountains, statues, botanical gardens, and rare and distinct trees, originally laid out by German-born landscape architect Henry Adolph Engelhardt, inspired by the European and American garden cemeteries of the 19th century, and with influences from Mount Auburn Cemetery in Boston.

The cemetery was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 2000.
