Holy Cross Cemetery is a treasured "rural cemetery" of Irish heritage in the heart of the city of Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Many Irish immigrants who arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia prior to Canada's Confederation and many of their descendants are buried in Holy Cross Cemetery. Holy Cross is known for the "Chapel Built in a Day" raised by nearly 2000 volunteers on August 31, 1843. The Cemetery is also the final resting place of the fourth Prime Minister of Canada.
