The City of Abbotsford’s cemeteries are nearing capacity, with limited space remaining at Hazelwood, Musselwhite, Aberdeen, and Mt. Lehman cemeteries. To plan for the future, the City has engaged LEES+Associates to assess how many years of capacity remain and explore strategies to maximize space and meet community needs. This work will ensure Abbotsford’s cemeteries can continue to serve families with a range of interment and memorialization options, reflecting changing trends and preferences. The City is committed to creating a sustainable, inclusive, and forward-thinking cemetery system that supports families now and for generations to come. The resulting plan will also consider ways cemeteries can play a broader role in the community.

We want to hear from you!

We are seeking your input on draft concepts for the City’s cemeteries. These concepts explore potential improvements, new interment options, and ways to enhance the role of cemeteries as meaningful community spaces.

Your feedback, along with input from the ongoing open house events, will help refine these ideas and ensure the Cemetery Master Plan reflects the diverse needs, values, and preferences of Abbotsford residents now and into the future.

Take the survey from May 15 - June 1 or attend any of the in-person engagement sessions on May 21st, 26th, and 27th.
