Northern Cemeteries and Graves
An Explorer's Guide to Atlin, British Columbia
The Atlin Pioneer Cemetery, BC
by Murray Lundberg
We have not yet found a definitive list of people buried here, and there is confusion between this cemetery and the one opened in 1948. The names below that have links are the gravesites whose markers have been photographed and posted so far. We have also posted a list of 457 people who are recorded as having died in the Atlin area - see Deaths at Atlin, BC.
The cemetery was opened in 1898 with the death of a Mr. Sinclair. It was casually known as the Discovery road cemetery in its early years, then as the Atlin Cemetery, then as the Atlin Pioneer Cemetery once the new one was opened in 1948.
