Finding the Blue River Cemetery is a bit tricky, but here goes: From the Yellowhead Highway, turn east on Harwood Drive, then north (left) on Harrison Road. Go to the right at each intersection as you skirt the northern edge of the Community Park around Eleanor Lake. The road will turn to the south, 100 metres after which one will need to turn left (east) on Herb Bilton Way. Follow it for 100 metres and arrive at the cemetery.

To the left of the west stone entrance fence one will find Survey Marker 878. 30 cm. behind it is a red lettered, white witness sign. We assume that Survey Marker 878 establishes the southwest corner of the cemetery.
The marker is stamped:
British Columbia Legal Survey
2016
BLK B
3279

878
One may pull into the cemetery to park, or even park by the road outside.
