The Dunedin Municipal Cemetery, nestled between Keene Road and Jerry Lake, is the final resting place of many pioneer family members of Dunedin. The cemetery encompasses approximately 7.75 acres and has been maintained by the City of Dunedin since 1927. In 1996 the Dunedin Historical Society created a Cemetery Preservation Committee to improve, support and augment the work of the city caring for the cemetery.
The Cemetery is also included in one of the Dunedin Historical Societies Living History Programs called “History Comes Alive”. Reenactors take on the roles of some of Dunedin’s historical figures who are buried at the cemetery. They discuss material related to that period of time, as well as dress in period appropriate clothing.
With over 2,500 interments, there are currently no full burial spaces available. License for use of cemetery property shall be offered exclusively to bona fide residents of the City of Dunedin, persons who have immediate family members interred in the cemetery and persons who are past elected officials or charter officials of the City of Dunedin. In order to offer more options to Dunedin residents and family members of those interred in the cemetery, the Dunedin City Commission passed a resolution in 2005 that added niches that accommodate cremains only and in 2008 the City Commission agreed to allow cremorial benches at selected locations. Additionally, there are several in ground spaces available for cremains only.
