The cemetery is very well maintained by the District of Taylor. Most of the grave marker are upright some older style intermixed with newer black markers. There is a fairly new columbarium with a granite inscription and a drawing of the nearby Church of the Good Shepherd.
The Church of the Good Shepherd was built in XCMXXXII (1932) as an Anglican Church of the Diocese of Caledonia, and remains so today. It a small white Gothic Revival church with a small bell tower over the narthex. Over the double wooden doors of the narthex is a Gothic transom bearing the name of the church and its year of construction. Atop the bell tower is a tall spire with flared eaves, topped with an Anglican cross. Gothic arched vents on three sides of the tower are covered by wooden slats.
Down each side of the nave are a pair of Gothic arched windows, at least one of which contains stained glass. At the rear of the nave is a small vestry with a Gothic arched window, now covered over.
The building rests on a concrete foundation with at least a partial basement.
