The historic cemeteries in Nordegg, Alberta offer a quiet look into the lives of the miners, families, immigrants, children, and early residents who helped shape this former coal mining town in David Thompson Country. Located in Clearwater County near the Brazeau Collieries National Historic Site, the cemetery area includes older family plots, weathered wooden fences, military markers, child graves, and a small pioneer cemetery where some markers have disappeared completely with time.

Walking through the Nordegg cemeteries is a moving way to connect with Alberta’s coal mining history beyond the mine site itself. Names such as Amantea, Favero, Lebihan, Horn, Conroy, Shaw, Dyba, Terris, Machy, Ross, and others help tell the human side of Nordegg’s story, from immigrant roots and family loss to wartime service and multi-generation ties to this historic mountain community.
