Two initiatives are underway with respect to cemeteries in the diocese. This work is partly as a follow up to a motion approved at the 137th Synod in 2019: that Diocesan Council develop a policy and procedures for the perpetual care of cemeteries located within dissolved parishes.
Chancellor David Bell invites incumbents, parish wardens and cemetery managers to review this draft Regulation and provide feedback to him (at dbell (at) unb.ca) by June 15.
This effort is in response to questions to Synod personnel over a number of years on how to handle certain recurring cemetery issues. A Regulation would lay a basis for dealing with many of them by requiring that future sales of cemetery lots take the form of a written contract featuring certain standard provisions. An example of such a contract is included. At the same time, the proposed contract allows for local variation on many matters.
For many parishes, such a Regulation and standard sales contract would involve quite a change in cemetery management. For this reason, you are asked to sit down with the people in your parish who have hands-on experience with cemeteries and go through the proposal to gather feedback. In doing so, please consider not only what is in the draft but also what should be added. (Note that one feature not dealt with in the draft is columbaria.)
A cemetery survey was distributed to parishes in the Fall of 2021. To date, about 2/3 of parishes have responded. If your church/parish has not yet responded, please find the instructions and a blank form here:
