Fauquier Cemetery
The following is a transcription of the Fauquier Cemetery located in Fauquier, British Columbia, Canada.
Historical Background
Located on a gravel road hidden from view by heavy bush, this is a new cemetery that was developed in Fauquier in the 1960’s. It was set up to replace the old cemetery which was submerged by the waters of Arrow Lake when B.C. Hydro raised the lake level by dam construction. However because of soil instability the original cemetery internments did not suffer the same fate as other cemeteries in the area and the approximately 13 internments were moved to the new site.
Layout
The cemetery has double entrance gates and is well kept, however because of surrounding bush; it is hidden from the road.
