St-Rémi-de-Napierville Cemetery is a small Catholic cemetery in Saint-Rémi, Quebec. It is located at 232 rue Saint-André on the south side of the street, east of rue Saint-Paul.
It is the final resting place of Canada's 15th Prime Minister, Pierre Elliott Trudeau (1919–2000), in the Trudeau family mausoleum that can be seen from rue Saint-André.[1] During the night of April 24–25, 2008, the Trudeau family mausoleum was defaced with "FLQ" and the French word for "traitor" written in spray-paint (see October Crisis).[2][3]
