Ladner Cemetery Rough Drawn Cemetery Map

You'll see the cemetery sections are cut from each quarter.

On Section A - I have identified the block numbers and then in the one little 
block, the lot numbers as they appear in each section.  

Each lot consists of a 15' x15' area and 4 graves.  

In the older sections that were most used years ago, there are in some cases 
more than 4 burials per lot.  Many times babies and young children were buried 
at the ends because they were so long.

In section D, the first couple of blocks on the southwest side were used as 
Potter's Field.  Nothing is there today but a few broken and unreadable stones.

In section A - block one - this was known years ago as the Stranger's Lot and 
was for single graves, or those who died with out having a lot or possibly 
relatives to be buried with them.
