At the time the cemetery opened, the Church of England was the official Church of Britain and her colonies and as such there is a designated area for Church of England members. In the cemetery's Jewish section, a stone chapel was built in 1950 with the help of Hollywood mogul Louis B. Mayer, who was raised in Saint John and whose mother is interred here.
