Sunnyside Cemetery Master Plan
Project background
The City of Surrey is developing a master plan for the expansion of the Sunnyside Lawn Cemetery (14850 - 28 Avenue).
The City operates three municipal cemeteries. However, all three are reaching capacity. Sunnyside Lawn Cemetery is the only cemetery with available area for expansion. To ensure the City can continue to provide this important service to the community, a master plan is being developed to define how best to undertake the expansion works for Sunnyside Lawn Cemetery.
Through the Sunnyside Cemetery Master Plan, the City aims to:
- Increase cemetery capacity while being sensitive to the existing forest on the property.
- Offer new and diverse interment options for the community.
- Ensure expansion adheres to archaeological and environmental regulations.
- Continue to protect the Semiahmoo Trail, which runs through the property, and other important site features.
Current project phase
The project is in the early stages of site analysis and information gathering. This includes obtaining arborist and environmental assessments of the property. This phase also includes reaching out to the public for feedback and information sharing prior to working on master plan designs.
