Notes
Westbrook Cemetery is an inactive cemetery in Brant County, under the jurisdiction of the Corporation of the County of Brant. It is located at 30 Shaver St., off of Hwy 2/53 East. Most of the headstones have been placed in concrete in a row, and most are legible and in good shape. A few are illegible because of weathering, and two have been broken. There are also a few stumps of headstones which are no longer there.
