Total records = 6,006.
This cemetery is bordered by Dundas Street on the
north side, Clarence Street on the east side, West Street on the west side and
the Canadian National Railway tracks on the south side. The main entrance to the
cemetery is from West Street, opposite Buffalo Street, also, there is an entrance
off of Clarence Street. This is a complete listing of the
tombstones and or grave markers in the cemetery. There is an unusually high number
of tombstones and or grave markers that are unreadable. Also, there are a number
of Armenian burials with the inscription in Armenian, except for the family name
and some dates. The records are all identified by the term “Armenian inscription”.
This cemetery is considered as inactive. The only burials taking place is a
situation where there is a family member who passes away, cremation takes place,
and the ashes are interred in the family plot. The cemetery is under the jurisdiction
of The City Of Brantford, Parks Operation and Development, Cemeteries, Main Office,
169 Charing Cross Street, Brantford, ON, N3R 2J3, Phone: (519) 753-0313. The cemetery
is very well maintained. Unfortunately, vandals have, from time to time, caused
damage to the tombstones and it is quite evident. I walked this cemetery in
the Summer and Fall of 2005, reading and recording the information from each tombstone
and or marker that could be read. (Note: The change in the spelling of the Family
name Height & Haight) - Murray Fair Record
