Cemeteries in the Township
The Township of Hamilton maintains two active cemeteries within the Township. There are many private active and inactive cemeteries in the various villages, hamlets, and rural countryside of the Township.
Currently, burials and sale of plots within the Township active cemeteries are not permitted. The cemetery by-laws are under review and waiting approval by Council and the Bereavement Authority of Ontario (BAO), the governing body for all cemeteries in Ontario. Once the by-laws are approved and fees and charges are established by the Township, burials, sale of plots, and monument / marker installation will resume. It is anticipated that the by-laws will be approved by late Fall 2023.
