Milestone Community Cemetery

The Milestone Cemetery is thoughtfully divided into multiple sections, including the “old area” and the “new area.” We are also proud to offer a newly added Columbarium for cremation interments, complete with a memorial wall to honour those laid to rest elsewhere.

Our Columbarium features 48 niches, each designed to hold two standard-sized urns (12.5″x12.5″x14″). Constructed from Canadian granite, each niche purchase includes one wreath door plaque, which can be customized with one or two names and includes the year of birth and year of death at no extra cost. The niche doors are securely tamperproof. For current fees, please refer to the Cemetery Bylaw.

Memorial Wall

The sides of the Columbarium are dedicated as a memorial wall for those laid to rest at another location. Memorial Wall plaques are available for purchase. For current fees, please refer to the Cemetery Bylaw.
