Cemeteries

The Municipality maintains a large number of cemeteries within the municipal boundaries, including three active cemeteries. Municipal staff are available year round at the Municipal Office during regular office hours to assist with the following:

  • Arrange for plot / niche purchase
  • Arrange for an interment (burial)
  • Obtain information or a copy of the Cemetery By-law
  • Search for grave information, including historical information
  • Questions regarding the operation of the cemetery or anything else related to the cemeteries

The Walkerton Cemetery is open year round - with minimal maintenance in the winter, and winter interments are available at winter rates from November until April each year. The Starkvale and Holy Trinity Anglican Cemetery are only open from May to October and do not permit winter interments.

The Municipality of Brockton does not manage the Douglas Hill Cemetery, for more information on this cemetery, please contact Les Abell.
