Welcome to an historic site
For more than a century and a half - almost 170 years! - St. John's Norway Cemetery has continuously offered an open, compassionate, and professional welcome in the service of all people of all traditions.
If a death has occurred
You must first contact a Funeral Home or Transfer Service to make arrangements for burial or
cremation. St. John’s Norway Cemetery & Crematorium requires that cremation and casket
burial arrangements be made through a licensed service provider.

We do not provide on-site grave searches.

For requests made by voicemail we require an email address or mailing address to send the
results of the search to you.

Consumer Information:
A Guide to Death Care in Ontario
A free guide provided by the Bereavement Authority of Ontario (BAO) helps consumers know their rights and responsibilities before entering into contracts with organizations that are licensed under the Funeral, Burial and Cremation Services Act, 2002. All licensees of the BAO - including St John's Cemetery - are required to provide consumers with a copy of this guide when making arrangements.
 The BAO urges all consumers to access A Guide to Death Care in Ontario ahead of time and encourages them to read through the guide, plan ahead and ask lots of questions prior to entering into a contract with the Cemetery.
