Welcome To Our Blog

Years and years ago we developed our website to connect with those interested in the Lakefield Cemetery. We were one of the first cemeteries to have a published, searchable burial register online and have always tried to have relevant, educational and informative content on our website. However as of late, we felt we were beginning to fall a little bit behind the times. We have been diligently working to make improvements to our website to enhance the overall user experience. We have also been searching for a way to connect online more personally, in this ever evolving digital world; a blog just seemed like the most natural progression. We can share informative, educational content as well as our personal experience and knowledge of the cemetery, cremation and funeral industry.

On behalf of all the staff here at the Lakefield Cemetery we would like to welcome and thank you for visiting our blog and hope you come back frequently for new content.
