The Old Trail Cemetery, also known as Trail-Tadenac Cemetery, was established in the late 1800's and was located in the Tadanac region on Aldridge Avenue. In 1957, it was decided to relocate the cemetery. All interments were moved to this location.
The old monuments which could be moved were saved and placed in several rows in the back part of the cemetery.
The headstones do seem to be well maintained. None of the remains were buried in this area. The burials are all out in the main part of the cemetery using the new flat stones to identify the gravesites.
No new burials take place nor are new lots being sold in this cemetery. However, there are a few exceptions due to previously purchased plots or agreements.
There are approximately 800 gravesites.
There is also an old Legion cenotaph located in the cemetery.
