The Village of Slocan Cemetery was established near the turn of the century. The area was founded in 1892.
The cemetery's welcoming arch is ornately fabricated of wrought iron, supported by square steel tubing and stone piers, with wrought iron gates. It defines the only entrance to the cemetery.
In 1942 when the Japanese-Canadians were interned, there was a large population housed in and around Slocan City. At the back of the Village of Slocan Cemetery is the only surviving Buddhist Cemetery from this era.
There are approximately 500 gravesites and the cemetery is still active today.
