St. John's Cemetery is a cemetery in Halifax, Nova Scotia and forms a series of cemeteries in the Fairview area of Halifax, next to Fairview Lawn Cemetery and Baron de Hirsch Cemetery.
Opened in 1839, it is the final resting place for a few prominent Anglicans in Halifax:
The cemetery contains war graves of 70 Commonwealth service personnel, 62 from World War I (of whom 48 lie in the Naval Plot in Section Q) and 8 from World War II.[2]
It is also the resting place of many people killed by the 1917 Halifax Explosion. A columbarium was added in 1994[1] on the site of the former St. Johns Anglican Church of Fairview.
