Salmo Cemetery earliest interment was about 1900. As best as we could determine the cemetery is still active. There are approximately 350 gravesites.

In the section to the right as you enter has some of the oldest interments, evidenced by the style of the graves and headstones. Many have deteriorated over the decades and are now illegible. We did locate several homemade grave markers, and one centenarian.

Overall the cemetery is well cared for by the Village of Salmo. Large trees surround the cemetery on three sides. It is fenced and the large gate is locked, however there are smaller entrance gates that are unlocked and you can enter through one of those.

One of the handcrafted grave markers we visited was of Rene Lucien Lecuyer. This is a hand crafted stone marker. The grave marker is one piece of flat stone with the inscription hand lettered in blue paint. The inscription and stone marker are still in reasonably good condition and the inscription is quite legible.

Rene Lucien Lecuyer has no recorded birthdate, he passed away November 16, 2001.

There is one known daughter: Tanya Eve Lecuyer (1970 - 2000)
