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.

The Blackburn cemetery is the largest private burial ground in the municipality of Cantley, QC. The Blackburn family were the first to permanently settle in the area in 1829 and while burials would have taken place from the 1830s, the first burial was recorded in 1842. Located on River Road, the cemetery is marked by a white fence and by two large stones with 15 names inscribed on them. Many other burials are unmarked, thirty-three are known to have been buried here, and it is believed that there are more. The latest burial appears to have been in 1920. The Blackburn family still owns the cemetery property and the family homestead, located to the west of the plot, as well as land to the south, across River Road.
