History

For nearly 150 years, four generations of the Treggett family managed Québec City’s Mount Hermon Cemetery. They lived on site and were responsible for the day-to-day operations. This story sheds light on their singular lives, which were devoted not only to tending a resting place, but also to supporting families in mourning.
