Ocean View Chinese Cemetery
Ocean View Cemetery is a very popular cemetery with the Chinese in Greater Vancouver. On the southwest corner of the cemetery, which Ocean View has assigned the name Fern, is a fair number of Chinese who died in the 1950s and from the looks of things most died without family. These graves had shown no visitors during the traditional Spring and Autumn visitations nor the Christmas holidays. Another indication of them died family-less is the fact that the year of birth is missing on a rather large number of these tombstones.
Took some photos of the tombstones but the sun was so bright that heavy shadows obscured some of the inscriptions. Will have to go back another day when it isn’t as sunny.
Will produce a listing of the names once the photo–taking is finished. In the meantime just watch the slideshow:
