Inside the cemetery is a monument, unveiled by Admiral Wemyss of the IODE at a ceremony on 6 September 1925, that commemorates those from the Austin area killed during military service.
On 17 June 2021, a monument in the cemetery was dedicated to numerous unmarked graves in the cemetery, as well as unknown people interred along the nearby Fort Ellice Trail.

A part of the town's story and those of its inhabitants from the early days of European settlement through roughly 1998 is told in the volume "Through Fields and Dreams - A History of Norfolk and Macgregor" (a 2-volume work), especially starting in volume 2 on the cited pages. 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 (reference #0465), transcribed by a member or members in 1987 and updated in 1993. Also available to MGS members is a searchable online database named the "MGS Manitoba Name Index" (or MANI). Some additional information is contained in the 1996 MGS publication "Carved in Stone: Manitoba Cemeteries and Burial Sites" (revised edition, Special Projects Publication, 106 pages).
