Thompson witnessed its first burial in 1962. On May 15, after a service at St. Lawrence Church, Frank Tuckey was interred. He had died on the previous day in his eighty-third year. The Cemetery was planned for a 30-year 'life' span at the rate of twelve burials a year. By 1983, the number of plots was increased from the original 360 to 390 with the facility to add another 200 plots in the future. In mid-November, 1983, 345 plots were in use.

As noted above, a part of the city's story and those of its inhabitants from the early days of European settlement through roughly 1988 is told in the volume "Thompson - A City and its People". 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".

The Manitoba Genealogical Society recognizes this by its reference #3054.
