Founded circa 1832 and incorporated as an Anglican Cemetery in 1853, St. Anne’s Cemetery has a long history of serving the Byron community.

About Us:
St. Anne’s Anglican Cemetery is an active cemetery registered with the Cemeteries Branch of the Department of Business and Consumer Affairs, Toronto.
Sales of full size and cremation only graves are limited to the active members of St. Anne’s Vestry or, on approval, their immediate family. There are 700 graves in total in the cemetery with approximately 70 available sites left.

Each year the cemetery board and the church hold a Cemetery Memorial Service on the first Sunday in May. At this service family, friends and parishioners have the opportunity to remember the members of St. Anne’s and the community who have been interred at St. Anne’s Cemetery over the past year, and also to remember other family members or friends who have passed.

Cemetery Beautification Project:
Since 2002 there has been an ongoing project to beautify the cemetery and church grounds. Over the past several years improvements have been made with the help of hundreds of volunteer hours provided by members of the church as well as the community. This project has involved the removal of mature overgrown cedars, the installation of new shrubs, concrete sidewalks, a new gazebo, several family benches and a fountain.

The cemetery board is currently looking at ways to enhance the area dedicated for the scattering of ashes as this has become an alternative in recent years to interment.

Our commitment:
It is the purpose and goal of the cemetery board and the church to provide a reverent, peaceful and relaxing environment for parishioners and visitors to enjoy.
