Mountain view cemetery, Vancouver

Surnames: Alward
Seeking help to check a grave in this cemetery. (I'm in Toronto, so can't do it myself). The name is Harry Alward, who died July 2, 1939. According to Find a Grave, the plot # is: Horne/1/5/04/001/0003. I'm interested to learn if there are family buried with him.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Hi, Contact the Cemetery Office -
http://former.vancouver.ca/commsvcs/NONMARKETOPERATIONS/MOUN...
They are very helpful -

they will be able to advise if there are other family burials.
Not all family members are always buried at the same section etc -of a cemetery depends on whether plots were previously chosen - etc. Not all family members are buried at the same cemetery - Depends on what is available at the time - convenience - costs.
Many Cemeteries are transcribed - from the headstones/ monuments at the Cemetery - Not all persons have headstones / monuments - that is why contacting Cemetery office is best.
-
Mountain View Cemetery site - shows only the one ALWARD burial -

Harry ALWARD is listed as single in his Death Registration, and his obituary states that he is survived by one brother F. ALWARD in Toronto.

This is the obit from the July 4th Vancouver Sun. It looks like he only had a brother in Toronto.
