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.
Address: 4532 Bruce Road 1, Paisley
Note: there are very limited plots available and once sold, the cemetery will be closed to Interment Right purchases and only be available for current Interment Right Holders to inter.
Holy Trinity Anglican Cemetery
Address: 975 Greenock Brant Townline
Note: This cemetery is closed to purchases and is only available to current Interment Right Holders for interments.
Brockton maintains a number of abandoned cemeteries located within the municipality. If you are looking for family history or genealogical information you are encouraged to visit the cemetery site yourself as we do not have complete burial records at the Municipal Office.
The Bruce County Museum has produced a Bruce County Cemetery Locator which lists cemeteries by historical townships and provides co-ordinates, civic address and legal descriptions for the cemeteries on this list.
For more information visit the Bruce County Museum's Research page.
