The Bowlby family had been instrumental in support of the church since its beginnings. When Captain George Herbert Bowlby, Director of Medical Service in the Canadian Expeditionary Forces, died in November 1916 in England, his ashes were returned to Canada and interred in the wall at the rear of the church with a new stained glass window above in his memory. In later years the ashes of his wife Adine and his brother David were also interred there.
In 1999 a Memorial Garden was constructed on the lawn of the church, a place for quiet reflection that was used for human ashes. Soon after, the provincial government got involved and the area was legally designated as a cemetery. The cemetery is active today.
