Ocean View Burial Park, British Columbia............

[minniehaha]

I wonder if some kind person would be able to visit this cemetery..........

John Clapham DIXON was cremated at the Garden Chapel, Ocean View Burial Park, Burnaby, British Columbia.

He died on 17th February 1982. I am wondering if there may be a memorial plaque?

Any information about this man would be most welcome.

Hi:

I've got quite a few relatives there, its a large place where you easily get lost if you don't know where to go.

Try contacting Ocean View first to get an idea of his location:

I don't mind going there to take a photo if you can find out more details on his location.

Hello again Sami,

I tried filling in the e-mail "Contact Us" form on the website to which you directed me, but unfortunately one of the fields required to be filled in relates to either a State in the US or Province in Canada. Nothing outside of these countries. So as I am somewhat removed from these areas, it would appear that I am back at square one..............?

Hi Minniehaha:

Hi minniehaha:

Phoned Ocean View this morning.

Apparently John Clapham Dixon was cremated in the crematorium at Ocean View which at that time was called Garden Chapel. The cremated remains were then sent back to the Mount Pleasant Chapel (the Funeral Director on the death cert.) Ocean View has no record of his interment taking place within the Ocean View Burial Park.

The only way to know what happened to his ashes is to contact Mount Pleasant. They are now called Mount Pleasant Universal Funeral Home and are still at the same address as on the death cert.

Their records may say who picked up the ashes or if they were interred in another cemetery. Have you checked to see if he is interred in Mountain View? The "Vanmap" that bbart mentioned wouldn't open for me this morning so I haven't been able to check.

Thank you Sami for that information. I will now try the "Vanmap" as mentioned by bbart.

Thank you for your help. It is appreciated............
