A rural cemetery serving our area since 1896, Clearwater Cemetery is located on land donated by the Wood family in 1895. Originally run by the Clearwater United Church, then Leduc County in 1967. Beaumont took over management in 1989.
The original gravesites recall the families who settled in the area, signifying the overall history of the community. A cairn placed in the south-west corner is a marker of the Clearwater Church, which gives the cemetery its name.
