artvlay Posted August 30, 2007 #1 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I have been to Halifax before, but this time I am taking my mom. The only thing she wants to do is see The Titanic cemetery. Can I get a taxi or something to take me there and back? How far is it and how much should it cost? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capebreton Posted August 30, 2007 #2 Share Posted August 30, 2007 There are 3 different grave yards for the titantic, I one i know for sure is located on the Mumford road its approx 10 15 min away from where the ship docks. I can not say for sure what a taxi would chagre but it shouldn't be more than 20 doolars or less one way. I hope this helps what your looking for if you need any other info on this contact 1 800 565 0000 they can tell you just about anything.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinburgher Posted September 17, 2007 #3 Share Posted September 17, 2007 We went on public transport last Sept. If you are logged on and go onto the CANADA board, look for SEARCH THIS FORUM and key in TITANIC CEMETERY or whatever. All previous posts with the words you searched for will pop up in the results. Here is a link to one which should give you an idea of the kind of info to be found on the board. Halifax. Can you help with Titanic Cemetery Question?

LHP Posted September 17, 2007 #4 Share Posted September 17, 2007 The Fairview Lawn Cemetary seems to be the one with the most Titantic grave sites. According to Mapquest, it is 3 miles from the HHP on the dock. FRED (which is free ) goes from the ship to the HHP....we plan to grab a taxi from there. We are "suppose" to walk back (since it is downhill and hubby is an exercise nut) but we will see when we get there!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mask Posted September 21, 2007 #5 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Hi, FYI: Fred does not go anywhere near Fairview Lawn Cemetery and it's pretty far to walk. I would recommend a taxi, or maybe a ship's tour (if there is one). Here's a cab service that might be able to arrange a tour for you: http://www.yourcab.ca/ Here's a few other interesting sites that might be helpful. http://www.halifax.ca/history/titanicmain.html http://www.destinationhalifax.com/things-to-do.php Hope this helps.

Does that sound like a reasonable estimation?? ~~not counting that it is all "uphill" :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that sound like a reasonable estimation?? ~~not counting that it is all "uphill" :) I didn't measure it but I would say that 3 miles/5 kilometers would be about right. The big uphill portion of the walk would be the first half mile or so after you leave Historic Properties. After that it would be some gentle hills. The walk up the hill is not that bad, it's just that you should be prepared for it if you are out of shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubby walks 2 - 4 miles every day without fail...so it will be a piece of cake for him. Me??? well...that is why they have taxis!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
