Gravestalkers tells the stories of fascinating people buried in cemeteries — from quiet village churchyards to the great garden cemeteries of the world, and back to some of the oldest grave sites on Earth. Every stone has a story; we film it where it happened.

This is a history project, not a ghost hunt. We work from open and licensed records — Wikidata, national heritage registers, and the war-graves commissions — write every story ourselves, and shoot our own footage, on location, with each cemetery's written permission. Where a grave can be visited, we show you exactly where to stand.

How a story gets told

Search a name. Watch the film. Find the grave. That is the whole idea — a searchable archive of lives, one story at a time, starting in Toronto and going worldwide: famous names, war dead, founders, scoundrels, and extraordinary ordinary people whose stones deserve a second look.

For cemeteries, guides & the funeral trade

We produce filmed story packages and featured listings for the cemeteries we visit and the local trade around them — walking-tour guides, funeral homes, monument makers. If your cemetery or business belongs in a story we are filming, a featured package puts you in front of the visitors that story brings. Reach us through the site as listings open city by city, Toronto first.

Our rules

Filming only with permission. No drones where they are not welcome. Nobody recently deceased is featured without time and care — the dead cannot answer back, so we get the facts right and say only what the record supports.
