Public Notice - Proposed Update to Cemetery By-law 2022-0063

December 16, 2024 

Council will consider an update and replacement of the Cemetery By-law at a future Council meeting
which will impact all municipal owned cemeteries, including current active cemeteries known as
Roblin Cemetery at 3136 Highway 41, Roblin; Riverview Cemetery at 336 Dundas Street W,
Napanee; Riverside Cemetery at 334 Church Street, Napanee; and Sandhill Cemetery at 5950
County Road 9, Napanee. Regular Council meetings are held on the second and fourth Tuesday of
each month, and the agendas are made available to the public on the preceding Thursday.

Proposed updates to the Cemetery By-law will provide clarity and include requirements for the re-sale
of interment rights, transfer of interment rights, adding additional interment right holders, permissions
required regarding markers, monuments, foundations and installation, and arranging a casket/urn
burial.

This By-law is subject to the approval of the Registrar, Funeral, Burial, and Cremation Services Act,
2002. Questions regarding this Act can be directed to the Bereavement Authority of Ontario at
647-483-2645 or 1-844-493-6356.

The Town of Greater Napanee has submitted the new Cemetery By-law to the Registrar of the
Funeral, Burial, and Cremation Services Act, 2002. For questions regarding the Cemetery By-law,
