The land was graded, levelled and surveyed ( Bolton Survey ). The first burial, in November 1897, was the late Mrs. George Awde Sr.
Shortly after the cemetery was established, remains from the Christian cemetery and the Methodist Cemetery were moved to the new location, if relatives could be located and permission granted.
Trees were planted in 1906 across the front, and along both sides. In 1926 a circle of 30 white pine trees was planted by Elmer Samis and his son Lomer Samis. The Samis Century Farm is directly across the road from Drayton Cemetery. An "Outdoor Cathedral" is the best way to describe the majestic effect.
