Orangeville - Forest Lawn Cemetery

 

Location:  Dufferin County     N 43.93480   W -80.09764

At the end of Cemetery Road, just inside the entrance to Forest Lawn Cemetery, keep to the right.

 

This memorial, found inside Forest Lawn Cemetery is an updated monument to honour those buried in the cemetery's Veteran's Plot.  The grey granite stone recognizes the major conflicts of Canada's history, and pays tribute to the common branches of the Canadian Forces and also the Legion.  Three side of the new memorial are identically decorated with symbols and text.  The original stone lies mounted in front of the attractive new memorial, all surrounded by graves and markers of those who proudly served their country.
