The following is a list of names and dates of burial at Notre Dame des Neiges Cemetery in Montreal. This cemetery, until recently, served exclusively the Roman Catholic population of Montreal. The first burial at Notre Dame des Neiges Cemetery took place on 29 May 1855. Some of the oldest monuments at Notre Dame des Neiges Cemetery were moved from the old St. Antoine Cemetery around 1871 when St. Antoine Cemetery was sold; part of the old cemetery became Dominion Square, and part was built on for the construction of St. James Cathedral (Mary Queen of the World Cathedral).
