Saltcoats Cemetery

Saltcoats Historic Cemetery

Located on Highway 16 West of Saltcoats.

We visit a cemetery for different reasons. Sometimes it is to visit a family grave or seek family heritage information. Saltcoats Historical Cemetery, serving Town and a large rural area, has many visitors every year. The well-maintained, attractively treed cemetery has been cared for by a series of devoted caretakers. Within the cemetery are graves dating to 1890. There is a columbarium and a sizeable scattering garden marked by a large memorial rock. There are benches where visitors can rest and reflect, and a Visitor Centre with informative plaques. A series of maps help visitors locate specific graves. A self-guided historical walk highlights parts of this community’s history. Honouring our heritage, a major and ongoing rejuvenation project for this historical cemetery was begun in 2022
