The Cemetery was initially dedicated in 1863. Prior to that time burials took place in many locations. Diggers without fail picked a sandy spot and known graves were shifted to the cemetery. Eventually, the Elm trees and rabbits created difficulties so an additional area of acres was added to the cemetery on 23rd February 1889. This enabled specific zones to be set aside from the main denominations. The Cemetery gate were installed in 1930 and the Columbarium built in 1987. The lawn cemetery and rose garden cemetery were added in 2011.
