The first burial occurred in 1913. There are are approx. 300 graves here. There are three graves of striking miners shot and killed by the RCMP at Estevan on September 29, 1931. Bienfait still is a coal mining town. There would be very few souls buried here that wouldn't have a connection to the industry.
