Stories and Memorabilia

The Brighton Cemetorians Inc. believe that behind every person buried in the cemetery there is a story to tell. But as each generation passes, these stories are becoming increasingly rare. For this reason, we have a keen interest in preserving stories and encourage people to share their information, whether oral history or family research so future generations will benefit.

Cemetery memorabilia in the form of documents, letters, right-of-burial certificates, receipts and even photos provide a wealth of information and copies are keenly sought.

All stories and documents donated to our collection will be warmly received and gratefully acknowledged.
