Cemeteries
Cemetery Services:
The Town of Fort Erie operates three active cemeteries:
- Greenwood Cemetery
- McAffee Cemetery
- Ridgeway Memorial Cemetery.
The Town is also responsible for maintaining 15 inactive cemeteries (burials no longer occur in these cemeteries). In addition, we have two columbaria, one in Greenwood Cemetery and one in Ridgeway Memorial Cemetery. The columbaria offer an alternative to the traditional in-ground burial of cremated remains.
Town staff work with families to honour the final wishes of those that have passed. However, we are sensitive to your needs and are available to assist and guide you through the decision-making process.
The burial process can be started by completing our
This form is completed by a funeral home or an individual family member entrusted with the cremated remains.
