Historical Background

 

Prekrasnoye Cemetery was established in 1912 by the Christian Community of Universal Brotherhood ("CCUB") to serve the Prekrasnoye settlement area. Located near Shoreacres it also came to be known as Shoreacres Doukhobor Cemetery. After the demise of the CCUB in 1937-1939, the cemetery continued to be used by its successor organization, the Union of Spiritual Communities of Christ ("USCC"). It is still in active use today. It is owned and maintained by the USCC Cemetery Association.

 

Layout

 

The cemetery is approximately two acres in size and is enclosed by a wire gate and surrounding shelterbelt.  The cemetery contains approximately 520 interments in a single section comprised of twenty rows facing east-west. Approximately 190 of the graves have no marker and the mounds have been leveled. We have used death registrations and oral tradition to identify 71 of these. The remaining unmarked graves are unidentified. With respect to graves with markers, the markers are typically plain slate or concrete upright headstones or flat markers set flush to the ground.
