Cemetery

The Municipality works in co-operation with all local funeral homes. Arrangements are made by the Funeral Director, who will notify us of the date and time of funeral. Private arrangements may be made directly with the Cemetery Administrator. 

Please note that the funeral home which is conducting the burial shall be responsible for the supply and operation of lowering devises and artificial grass.

The BAO’s Consumer Information Guide: A Guide to Death Care in Ontario is a free consumer-protection information booklet. The guide is written for families and the public to know their rights and responsibilities before entering into contracts with organizations that are licensed under the Funeral, Burial and Cremation Services Act, 2002.

By pre-arranging your burial, your wishes are made clear. Advance planning is the best way to avoid heavier financial burdens in the future and decisions are made apart from the emotions and stress of death. We will assist you and respect your preferences. We will make a full, unhurried, in-depth disclosure of all costs, so you can make prudent and informed choices in an atmosphere free from the grief that accompanies a death. 

If you would like to pre-plan and pay for your final resting place, please give us a call or send us an email and schedule an appointment.

In accordance with provincial law, money received for pre-planned cemetery services, such as a burial, is deposited in a trust fund. If you change your mind within the first thirty (30) days of purchase, you will receive a full refund. 

After thirty (30) days, you can still cancel your purchase as long as the supplies and/or services contracted for you have yet to be provided (i.e. no monument has been installed and the interment rights have not been used). In this case, you may be eligible for a refund less any care and maintenance. Please contact the municipal office for more information. 

The Funeral, Burial and Cremation Services Act requires every cemetery operator who sells, assigns, or transfers interment rights or who permits the interment of human remains have a Care and Maintenance Fund.

These contributions became mandatory in Ontario in 1955. A percentage of Interment Rights purchased is put into the Care and Maintenance Trust Fund. The income generated from this fund is used to maintain, secure, and preserve the cemetery grounds.
