The You Are Here is a nice wood sign and also there is a map with the layout of the cemetery.
The Cliffside Cemetery has approximately 1,400 interments and is still active. It is located within the North Okanagan Regional District.
This is a very well maintained cemetery and in the old section there are upright headstones as the new section has flat grave markers.
On April 18, 1913, the City of Enderby purchased 8.36 acres from G.L. Williams, Land Surveyor for $1,000. Three acres were cleared and the plots were mapped.
The first person buried here was Andrew Glen, whose property was to the north and west of the cemetery. For many years the City purchased barrels of water for $1.00 each to water the grounds.
The undeveloped southern section was cleared in 1962 and is now commonly known as the new site.
