CEMETERY INSCRIPTIONS-NAKUSP B.C.

NAKUSP CEMETERY
        The town of Nakusp was first settled in 1892 and the graveyard dates from that time.
It is pleasantly situated near the town center, overlooking the Arrow Lakes with the
peaks of the Monashee mountains in the distance. To reach it proceed westward along
the main street, Broadway, for a distance of 0.5 km from the traffic light at the junction of
Highway 23 and Broadway.
        The cemetery is made up of four main divisions-the Catholic, the main area, the
Women's Institute section and the Legion section. It is well maintained.
        In the 1960's space was becoming limited and a new cemetery was opened in
1966 at a location on the bench land above the town. The inscriptions for this new
addition are given under "Nakusp at Glenbank"

Unmarked graves about which some facts are known are listed here
