CEMETERY INSCRIPTIONS-BURTON B.C.

BURTON CEMETERY
The flooding of the Arrow Reservoir after the construction of the High Arrow dam at Castlegar inundated the town of Burton, including the cemetery. A new town was developed above the high water mark and this cemetery was part of this development. A plaque  lists the names of the persons who were buried in the flooded cemetery along with several headstones moved to this new location.
The cemetery is well kept and easily accessible. If approaching from the south on highway #6 turn right onto the service road and proceed northward to Main Road. Turn right up Main Road to Burton Crossroads, turn right  onto Burton Crossroads, proceed 0.3 km to Burton Cemetery Road and turn left onto it. The cemetery is on your right, a short distance down this road.
