Lundy's Lane Cemetery was founded by the "Red Meeting House" Methodist Church in 1817. It was known as Garner Cemetery or Green’s Corners Cemetery. After the church moved further up Lundy’s Lane, the cemetery was abandoned for several years. In 1934, the Township of Stamford took over the cemetery and expanded it by several acres. Today, there are two parts to the cemetery: the historical "old" cemetery and the newer one, Lundy’s Lane Cemetery. The first known burial was Joseph Corwin (church elder) in 1820.

Charles Green memorial
Charles Green was a member of the King's Rangers, UEL (United Empire Loyalists). His grave is just outside the cemetery fence, facing Lundy’s Lane, east of the Stone Cairn. In the 1980s, a road survey crew found his grave while planning roadwork. To protect the grave, they decided to narrow the road by two feet. Charles Green passed away in 1827 at the age of 87.
Green and Lundy Columbarium
Columbaria provide above-ground niches for cremains, offering a cost-effective alternative to traditional burials. Many niches can accommodate two cremains.
Holocaust memorial
In 1998, a memorial was built to remember the six million Jewish men, women, and children who died during the Holocaust under the Nazi regime (1933–1945). The memorial is dedicated with the hope that remembering the past will help build a better future.
