A columbarium is an above-ground unit to store urns of cremated ashes. The cemetery's current unit has 72 spots with the new unit is expected to add 100.

"In general cremations have been growing on Prince Edward Island," said Dennis MacDonald, chair of the People's Cemetery. "It wasn't that many years ago that there were really no cremations. And now it's about 50 per cent."

Attitudes toward traditional burials are shifting and people are seeking alternatives, MacDonald said.

"People have been looking for a wide range of options," he said.

Over the past four years, the number of Islanders using the cemetery's first columbarium has grown rapidly, MacDonald said. It was purchased by the cemetery about a decade ago.

The People's Cemetery is surrounded by flower gardens and benches for quiet reflection. Over the past few years the cemetery has been landscaped with flower gardens throughout, and the 130-year-old trees add to the cemetery's beauty. 🌳

The People’s Cemetery’s first burial 🪦

The first burial took place September 1st, 1884. This was for a man named Mr. John Dorsey whose monument is located directly behind the receiving vault.

The press of the day did not take much notice of this important event. Mr. Dorsey’s obituary did not mention where he was to be buried and the death notice in the Patriot of the Day noted the interment would be in the new Protestant Cemetery on St. Peter’s Road.

Mr. Dorsey, by the way, was the head of the Dorsey and Goff and Company’s Shoe Factory.
