Cemetery plots may be reserved prior to a burial. Plots can be reserved as far in advance as desired.
Pre-arrangement of burial services ensures that your personal wishes are known and followed by your survivors.
Reserving a Plot
Visit the cemetery with a set of plot plans to choose the plot you wish to reserve. Current Plot Plans are available from the Cemetery Administrator or in person at the front desk at Municipal Hall.
The plot plans indicate which plots are available and where they are located. Each plot may hold the remains of one person.
When you have chosen the plot that you wish to reserve, arrange an appointment with the Cemetery Administrator to pay the applicable fees and obtain a cemetery license.
Interment Services
Interments for full burial may be scheduled Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Memorial Markers
Memorial Markers shall not be placed on grave spaces in the cemetery until the fees have been paid in full. Only memorial markers specified within the Cemetery Bylaw are to be installed in the cemetery.
The municipality reserves the right to reject any memorial marker which is not in keeping with the dignity of the cemetery. No grave spaces in the cemetery shall be defined by a fence, hedge or railing unless otherwise approved by the municipality.
Cut Flowers
Cut flowers, wreaths and floral offerings may be placed on grave spaces, but may be removed by the Caretaker when their condition is considered to be detrimental to the beauty of the cemetery.
