Monuments, Bases and Plaques
The Cemetery Board must be contacted prior to the installation of all monuments, bases or plaques to ensure proper location and installation. A fee must be paid to the Cemetery Board to identify and mark the location for any monument or base to be installed for a ground burial lot.
Monument, base, marker or plaque fees, including the contributions to the Care and Maintenance Fund, must be paid in full prior to the installation of any monument or marker. Only one upright monument is allowed on each Full Burial Lot, and only flush mounted (flat markers) are allowed on cremation lots.
Only the plaques provided by the columbarium manufacturer are allowed for use on the columbarium. (For further details on current plaque pricing, please contact the Cemetery Board.) No other decorations, mementos, or flowers are permitted on the columbarium.
Care and Maintenance Fund
40% of the sale price of interment rights is held in trust in the cemetery Care and Maintenance Fund. Interest generated from the Care and Maintenance Fund is used for the ongoing maintenance of the cemetery. The interment rights holder of ground burial lots must also make a contribution to the Care and Maintenance Fund for the installation of any monument or marker. Please contact for rates.

A copy of the most recent bylaws of the Stittsville United Church Cemetery Board as well as a public register, site map and additional information is available by contacting the Stittsville United Church office.
