The Spooky Ross Bay Cemetery in Victoria BC

Welcome to Ross Bay Cemetery, which is situated on the traditional territories of the Lekwungen people of the Songhess and Esquimalt First Nations. Ross Bay Cemetery is located in Victoria, BC Canada. Come on this journey as we explore a selection of grave sites of Victoria’s famous and influential people of the past. The cemetery was opened in 1873 and today has over 28,000 people buried here. A walk through Ross Bay cemetery is a shining example of a well kept sculpture park with tree lined avenues, along Dallas Rd, with the Pacific Ocean as the backdrop. Not sure if it's a view worth dying for, but if you have to have a plot with a view in the afterlife, this is a beautiful place of final rest. The cemetery was Victoria’s community cemetery and was originally divided into sections based on religious faith. First Nations, Chinese and the poor have a section called Potter’s Field. In 1859 the Jewish community started operating their own cemetery at Fernwood Rd at Cedar Hill Rd, that is the oldest operating cemetery in BC. From 1873 to 1903, is the only time that Chinese Buddhists used Ross Bay cemetery. After 1903, the Chinese bought a site to call their own and is located nearby at Harling Point. In the late 1800s Sikhs started to come to Victoria and when they died, the dead are cremated and their ashes scattered over water. Some of Victoria’s black population is buried throughout the cemetery based on their religious affiliation The name of the cemetery is “Ross”. Named after Isabella Ross, the first female registered owner of land in BC. Isabella owned most of the land that is now Ross Bay Cemetery.
