"Cemetery
The Coldstream Municipal Cemetery is located at the south end of Howe Drive (watch for directional signage on Kalamalka Road), a tranquil place of final rest surrounded by pasture and trees. The Cemetery includes adult and child/infant burial lots, cremation lots, and memorial wall.
The Cemetery gate is open from dawn to dusk every day.
The Cemetery was established in 1901 on an acre of land donated by Coldstream Ranch. The District is expanding the Cemetery into additional property recently acquired from the Ranch."
