About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Graves at Hillside Cemetery in Dayspring are marked only by numbered granite stones. The Municipality of the District of Lunenburg will be placing at the cemetery a memorial monument and interpretive signage to recognize and honour the 188 men, women and children who lived and passed away at the Lunenburg Municipal Hospital, and were buried in the cemetery between 1904 and 1959.

The first recorded burial was Jan. 28, 1904, while the last burial occurred on Feb. 27, 1959. The youngest person buried there was a boy, less than a day old. The oldest was a 106-year-old man.
