Fairview Cemetery in the winter

Municipal Services Inner Image

Contact(s)

North Perth owns 12 cemeteries within the municipality. Fairview Cemetery in Listowel and Donegal Cemetery are the only active municipally owned cemeteries in North Perth.

A new cemetery site was identified as a need in the early 2000s. The new cemetery site is located at 8127 Road 165.

Since the planning of the new cemetery began, burial trends have shifted considerably. An increased proportion of the population are choosing cremation over burial. This trend has increased the lifespan of Fairview Cemetery. It is estimated that Fairview Cemetery has a current remaining lifespan of approximately 30 years based on current trends, with 750 sellable prime burial plots available. We predict that the new cemetery will become active in 10-15 years.

Fairview cemetery

Fairview Cemetery is located across from 875 Davidson Avenue North, Listowel.

The cemetery was acquired by the Town of Listowel in 1945. Previously, it was a privately owned burial ground. The Fairview Cemetery has a chapel for winter interment and has 5 cemetery section, which includes a cremation garden.

The following picture identifies the 5 sections of the cemetery:

Cremation Gardens

Fairview Cemetery is currently home to the Cremation Gardens section. The Cremation Gardens includes Columbarium structures that are designed and constructed to hold urns containing cremated remains in numerous small compartments or niches.

To address the increased interest in cremation, the North Perth Cemetery Board is planning to move forward with Phase 3 of the Cremation Gardens in Fairview Cemetery.
