Genealogy / Family Search

Families and genealogists can look up burial information on their ancestors or their own family plot. Detailed information about the deceased's location (Section and plot number), date of burial AND a photo of the monument is easily accessed.

For interesting historical facts and the locations of the cemeteries please see Cemetery Locations & Histories.

To search for family members, enter the information in any combination and click Search.

The minimum criteria required to perform a search is the following:

The system will perform partial matches on the Last Name and First Name fields. For example, 'john' will find 'john', 'johnston', 'johnstone', etc.

When more criteria is entered, more exact search results will be returned.

Privacy Act

The Ontario Cemeteries Act (1990) states that Cemeteries may only provide the public with the name of the deceased, the date of interment, and the location where they are interred within a cemetery, as well as the name of the Rights Holder of the plot. In keeping with this legislation the City of Niagara Falls Cemetery Services do not record the birth date and death date of the deceased in our Genealogy Search information.
