The Armstrong-Spallumcheen Cemetery was opened on August 25, 1913. Five acres were originally purchased for the burial ground. In 1965 an adjoining 3.5 acres were bought.
The original cost per plot was set at $3.00. In 1970 the municipality of Spallumcheen began to participate in the upkeep of the cemetery and at that time the name was changed to Armstrong-Spallumcheen Cemetery.
Layout
The cemetery has approximately 8.5 acres and is well maintained. The road frontage is fenced with stone posts with chain link between them.
The setting is one of quiet and peace. There is a farm on either side and the back boundary borders a steep ravine. Many large trees provide a picturesque setting against the mountains of the valley.
