Burlington Cemetery Society - Kings County, Nova Scotia

The Burlington Kings County Cemetery Society became a reality in 2006 because of the determination of Viewmount resident Brian Hirtle, who has watched the cemetery deteriorate over recent years. Most of the descendants of the people buried in the cemetery have either passed away or moved from the area over the last few decades. Brian has now assembled a great group of people from the Burlington area - and from abroad - to help restore and maintain the cemetery.

The society’s deepest respect goes out to John Bezanson, Bill Bezanson and Leslie Saunders for all the time and effort they have put forth over the years. Now it is time for other concerned people to step forward and continue the fine work done in the past by these great men and their families.
