The Owen Sound Library would have the books of transcripts of the cemeteries in their area, and would likely provide transcriptions. Failing that, contact the Owen Sound Historical Society, and they would find the transcripts.

Thanks vbain.  I've been onto the Library in Owen Sound and they were indeed very helpful.  Unfortunately, it now seems that William Arthur Burrowes was not buried with his wife, who was laid to rest in her family's plot in Owen Sound.  What became of her husband is still a mystery.

Here are the William Burrowes interred in Ontario:
Name Cemetery County Township Reference
BURROWES, Hugh William Hamilton Wentworth Hamilton HM-302
BURROWES, Hugh William Hamilton Wentworth Hamilton HM-304-1
BURROWES, William Hamilton Wentworth Hamilton HM-300
BURROWES, William E. (-1957) St George's Anglican / Sibbald Point York Georgina YK-GRG-010
There are some in Hamilton, Ontario. Again, You could ask the Hamilton Library, or contact their historical Society to see if you can get transcripts.
In addition, the cemetery transcriptions are done by the Ontario, I think by the genealogical society.

I've also found this record:

BURROWS, William Arthur Walkerton Protestant Bruce Brant BG-B-038

so I've emailed the Historical Society - fingers crossed there are records listed somewhere.
