Bellevue - Ontario

Founded in 1892, Bellevue Memorial Park originally started as 10 acres of land the townspeople set aside so that Abram Oakley, father of the cemetery’s founders H.C. Oakley and Dr. J.W. Oakley, could have a plot in Ontario. It was the city’s first official funeral and, since then, Bellevue Memorial Park has grown to 78 acres and become the burial site for many of the families that helped transform Ontario from a frontier outpost into the proud city that it is today.
