The Catholic Church formally established its presence in New Westminster in 1860. In September of that year, Fr. Leon Fouquet, OMI, arrived to establish St. Peter’s Parish as part of the St. Charles mission encompassing much of the Fraser Valley from the Cascade Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. Accompanying Fr. Fouquet was Fr. Charles Grandidier, OMI; Brother George Blanchet, OMI; and Brother Gaspar Janin, OMI.

We offer in-ground cremation lots or niches in the St. Peter’s Columbarium. A member of our team can guide you on availability, pricing and the process to set aside your sacred space.

Please note traditional plots are sold out at this location but we have plots at the Gardens of Gethsemani cemetery if that is of interest. If you are a plot owner at St. Peter’s, you can speak with an advisor about cremation burial within the plot.
