has abstract	Fernhill Cemetery, known as the Rural Cemetery when it opened in 1848, is located at 200 Westmorland Road in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. Renamed Fernhill in 1899, the 125 acre (0.5 km2) cemetery has a special section for veterans of both World War I and World War II and is the burial site of one of only a few Canadians to ever receive the United States' highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor. When the cemetery opened, the Church of England was the established church, and as such, there is a designated area for Church of England members. In the cemetery's Jewishsection, a stone chapel was built in 1950 with the help of the Hollywood mogul Louis B. Mayer, who grew up in Saint John and whose mother is interred here. The cemetery contains the war graves of 103 Commonwealth service personnel, 67 of World War I and 36 of World War II. Fernhill has operated a crematorium onsite since 1939, when it was the first crematorium east of Montreal. (en) Le cimetière Fernhill est un cimetière canadien de Saint-Jean, au Nouveau-Brunswick. C'est à l'initiative d'un groupe de citoyens de Saint-Jean que le cimetière Fernhill est créé en 1848 sous le nom de Rural Cemetery. Il devait à l'origine être ouvert à toutes les confessions, mais les catholiques et les méthodistes, qui possédaient leurs propres cimetières, refusèrent de participer au projet. C'est en 1899 que le cimetière prend son nom actuel de Fernhill. D'une superficie de 110 acres (un peu plus de 44 hectares), le cimetière enregistre son premier enterrement le 8 mars 1849. Plusieurs agrandissement sont réalisés en 1849, 1852 et 1897, et un petit cimetière juif de la congrégation Sha'arei Zedek, créé en 1872, en devient partie. Un bureau et un logement sont construits en 1859, des chemins carrossables sont tracés en 1914 et un caveau et une chapelle sont érigés en 1911. Un crématorium est ajouté en 1938 et un columbarium en 1995. La superficie du cimetière est aujourd'hui de 80 hectares et on estime à 37 000 le nombre de personnes enterrées. (fr)
