The land for the Rosedale Cemetery was donated by R. G. Buchanan. The first burial was Mrs. John S. Buchanan of Riding Mountain. When the road allowance was built, the grave had to be moved further north in the cemetery. R G. Buchanan's first wife, Anna Mary Coulter, was buried here in 1911.

This little cemetery on SE-28-15-15(-W1) has been in use since 1882 (or before), and is now maintained by Rosedale Municipality, although many of the graves are kept up by the families of the deceased. Many of the names found in the cemetery have long since disappeared, as far as the district is concerned.

Since there is not and never has been a cemetery at Eden, some residents were buried here also. 

Rosedale Municipality have had a sign made to mark the location.

As noted above, a part of the community's story, and those of its inhabitants, from the early days of European settlement through roughly 1984 is told in the volume "Rosedale Remembers 1884-1984", especially on the cited pages. A free digital version of this and many other Manitoba local history books can be found online in the University of Manitoba Digital Collections. There is also a list of such books organized by district and town name on the Manitoba Historical Society's website on their page entitled "Finding Aid: Manitoba Local History Books".

NOTE: This book also contains a list of burials known to the authors at the time of its publication

Another list of burials in this cemetery is available from the Manitoba Genealogical Society (reference #0112), transcribed by a member or members in 1983 and updated in 1994. 2013 and again in 2020. Also available to MGS members is a searchable online database named the "MGS Manitoba Name Index" (or MANI). Some additional information is contained in the 1996 MGS publication "Carved in Stone: Manitoba Cemeteries and Burial Sites" (revised edition, Special Projects Publication, 106 pages).
