The cemetery has an oval driveway running through it, breaking the land into three sections. Section 1 begins at the northwest corner of the cemetery. Section 2 is between the driveway lanes and the 3rd section runs from the southern driveway lane to the southern fence.

The records for this cemetery were destroyed in a fire when Box Brothers Mortuary burned. Since that time, the RM has attempted to locate persons having information on burials where markers are non-existent.

At the rear of the cemetery is a section where burials of patients from the Ninette (Tuberculosis) Sanatorium were made and very few have markers. At the time (i.e., in 1991), the RM of Strathcona provided a listing of those buried in this section.

A monument in the Belmont Hillside Cemetery, in the Rural Municipality of Prairie Lakes, was unveiled on August 1, 2010, in memory of those who died while being treated for tuberculosis at the Manitoba Sanatorium at Ninette. It was developed by the Rural Municipality of Strathcona with financial support from the Province of Manitoba, The Thomas Sill Foundation, and The Killarney Foundation.

In addition, a few people who died at the Sanatorium were buried in the Ninette Cemetery.

A part of the story of the town and its inhabitants from the early days of European settlement through roughly 1989 is told in the volume "And so...Ninette 1879-1919", and in the related volume named "Path of the Pioneers - Belmont and District 1889 - 1989", especially starting on page 128.

Free digital versions of these 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".

A list of burials in this cemetery is available from the Manitoba Genealogical Society, as transcribed by members in 1989 and updated in 1991.
