The Saskatchewan Cemetery Project bids farewell to its old Rootsweb dwelling and eagerly welcomes you to its new digital sanctuary at https://saskgenweb.ca/cansacem/. A heartfelt nod to Ancestry.com and Rootsweb.com for their past support as we embark on this exciting transition.

Our mission remains unwavering-to preserve family legacies through the digital immortalization of Saskatchewan cemeteries. Unearth the stories of your ancestors, reconnect with long-lost kin, or simply wander through the virtual landscapes of our comprehensive cemetery records. Even as winter blankets these sacred grounds, our year-round cemetery headstone digitization program opens doors to exploration from any corner of the globe.

For those who share our passion for documenting history in stone, we extend a warm invitation. Whether you've been part of our journey or wish to lend support through Patreon, your involvement is treasured.

* Taken from the cemetery record book itself, there are no stones. This listing is the result of a personal reading of the cemetery, followed by a comparison with the record book and a reading over by some local residents who made some additions and corrections. To them I am deeply grateful.

The record book is kept within the community by the local caretaker of the cemetery. The list was updated in March 1998, from information sent by Ivy Grisdale. I am indebted to her for this additional information.
