Harbourville cemetery

PEACE AND SOLITUDE

The Harbourville Cemetery was established in the Community as early as 1852. Many of the individuals at the cemetery were buried in the 1800’s but the cemetery is still used today by members of the community. The cemetery is located near the United Tapestry Church, with a view of the Bay of Fundy.

Grave sites are reserved for use by members of the community and their families. Buying a plot allows the use of that site for burial purposes. Currently, the fee for a plot is $300. The land remains the property of the community. Money received for grave sites is used for the care and upkeep of the cemetery. Care of the cemetery will continue as long as funds exist. Private donations to assist in the cemetery upkeep are always appreciated. If you are interested in reserving a plot, please contact us.

Buying a grave site allows the use of that site for burial purposes. The land remains the property of the community. You will not receive a deed for the plot.

Site holders may erect appropriate head and foot stones, plant flowers, grass and shrubbery, but it is important that any ornamentation added to the cemetery should be appropriate for such a site.  If grave site holders wish to enhance their grave site, we recommend that it be done with shrubbery or live flowers. Ornaments made of plastic, polyresin, metal and toys are not considered appropriate and will be removed. Artificial flowers are not permitted. We permit only arrangements at ground level. Once arrangements deteriorate they should be removed. Adherence to these guidelines will help keep the cemetery aesthetically pleasing as well as make maintenance easier and safer.

The opening and closing of a grave for a committal is carried out by a private contractor at your expense. Unless other arrangements have been made, they should also be responsible for the removal of any excess earth after a committal.
