Announcement from Churchill Cemetery Inc.
Dear Community,
We’d like to update you on a few changes to Churchill Cemetery that we hope will improve safety and accessibility for everyone.
​
New Fence and Parking:
A new fence has been installed around part of the property, with an area designated for cemetery parking only. Two signs have been placed in the lot to make this clear. The cemetery entrance remains at the south side of the building, accessible through the original gates. The fence also features two gates for contractors and equipment that need to access the back of the property for burial and maintenance purposes.
Parking Lot and Rear Gate:
The area that used to serve as the church’s parking lot, leading to a grassy open field, is no longer used for public parking. While the Bereavement Authority of Ontario (BAO) does not legally require us to provide a parking lot for the cemetery, we are happy to offer one for visitors. We also want to clarify that the rear barn gate is for contractor use only, providing access for burial-related work and maintenance. Public access to the cemetery remains through the original gates on 9th Line, on the South side of the Church building.
Safety Measures:
For the safety of the new family residing on the property, as well as those visiting the cemetery, a fence has been installed around the front of the property, where their children play. This area had become a spot for people walking their dogs and others using the field for non-cemetery-related purposes. The new fence will help keep that area free from through-traffic.
Cemetery Operator Status:
We want to assure you that the current cemetery trustees remain in charge of cemetery operations. The BAO, who have been assisting with cemetery matters since our purchase of the property, is here to help ensure everything runs smoothly. If any changes occur in this regard, it will be communicated to the public as per BAO guidelines. For any further queries and future updates, please visit churchillcemetery.com.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support of Churchill Cemetery.
​
To summarize, while we have purchased the property (which includes the cemetery), the cemetery’s operations are still in the capable hands of the current trustees. The part of the property not designated as cemetery land has been fenced off for safety and liability reasons.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support of Churchill Cemetery.
Sincerely,
Churchill Cemetery Inc.
