Project background
The City of Surrey is developing a 25 year master plan for the expansion of interment services at the Sunnyside Lawn Cemetery (14850 - 28 Avenue).
Through the 25 Year Sunnyside Cemetery Master Plan, the City aims to:
- Increase the cemetery by approximately 5 acres which will be built in phases over the next 25 years.
- Prioritize tree retention opportunities within the 5 acre expansion area.
- Offer new and diverse interment options that can be integrated with nature and the existing forest.
- Ensure expansion adheres to archaeological and environmental regulations.
- Continue to protect the Semiahmoo Trail and other important site features.
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 25-year master plan is being developed to define how best to undertake the expansion works for Sunnyside Lawn Cemetery.
