Alongside the old wooden church, the second to be built in Saint Andrews, is its cemetery, as was the custom at the time. It has received somewhere around 100 burials, but some of the headstones related in an account of the cemetery in 1906, are no longer to be found.

The earliest known burial was that of Isabella RENKIN who died June 25th 1825. Her headstone is inscribed:
