Since 1834 the Stone Church Cemetery Commission has operated as a non-profit charity. The cemetery is surrounded by the quiet Beaver River and sits on 11 acres. For over 191 years, The Stone Church Cemetery Commission has continued to offer a range of burial options, which currently includes traditional grave spaces, cremation graves and cremation columbariums which hold cremation urns.
Decoration Sunday Services
Come join us on this day to reflect and remember our loved ones. This is a time to visit an old friend, and share a memory or two.
We hold a service in the Old Stone Church, with a great speaker providing the service.
Decoration Sunday is the 3rd Sunday in August at 3:00 pm. Donation boxes will be set up throughout the cemetery during the month of August. Please ensure you include a mailing address for us to issue a charitable receipt.
