Welcome to the Warner Cemetery (Methodist Episcopal Church) Website!

The Warner Burying Ground began its days in about 1806 and still runs to this day. This would make it(in our estimation) the oldest still active cemetery in Ontario.

Located on the Niagara Escarpment, overlooking the town of Niagara-on-the-Lake in what would have been a picturesque setting back in the day. Originally the cemetery was surrounded by a four-foot stone wall, surmounted by half-circular segments of stone, which rested on the base at an angle of fifteen or twenty degrees. It has been estimated that there were about one hundred graves in the old section of the cemetery, but since many of the old stones have become illegible or have crumbled away entirely, it is hard to come up with an exact number or list of those interred.
