Our property encompasses fifty one acres of which about fifteen acres are presently used for interments. While Elmwood was originally founded as the Anglo-Protestant cemetery for the general Perth area, it expanded many decades ago to serve all area residents without concern for their cultural or religious backgrounds. The property is designated under the Ontario Heritage Act and includes a vault built in 1897/98.
Elmwood serves the citizens of Perth and surrounding communities by providing a secure and affordable final resting place in a park like setting. The monuments, structures and trees represent the historical link to the past and the area's inhabitants that have gone before us.
Within Elmwood Cemetery we have established an atmosphere of a naturalistic setting to attract and comfort the living while providing a secure and respectful place for the dead. The monuments perpetuate the memory of the individuals in a heritage like setting for public use.
NOTE: Plot Numbering
Most of the entries on Find-A-Grave have used a numbering system devised without using cemetery records. This numbering consists of a section identifier, a dash and a 3 digit number (e.g. H2-123) and was used for sections A through K by the Kingston section of the Ontario Geneological Society (KOGS). Old cemetery records used fractions of lots and other divisions such as Front and Back (e.g. H94½Left). Sections L through P and have a standard cemetery number with the section and a 3 digit number (e.g. N876). It is our intention to update plot numbers on Find-A-Grave by showing a reference such as "H2-123(KOGS) H94½L (Elmwood) as needed.
