The Catholic Cemetery in Cranbrook was dedicated in 1904 by the Bishop of New Westminster, and turned over to the Diocese of Nelson. It is owned, licensed, operated and maintained by the Trustees of St Mary's Catholic Church, and is still in limited use.

Excerpted from the Cranbrook Herald of May 26, 1904, via the UBC historical newspapers website:
Bishop Dontenwille.
Bishop Dontenwille arrived in Cranbrook today from a visit to Fernie and Michel. He will preach at St. Marys church next Sunday morning and evening, and at four o'clock in the afternoon, he will bless the new cemetery...
Note: An item the previous week stated "The ground for the Catholic cemetery is cleared and will be fenced at once."
