Historic Sites of Manitoba: Hnausa West Cemetery (Municipality of Bifrost-Riverton)
This cemetery in the Municipality of Bifrost-Riverton was created in 1891 due to a split in the congregation of the Lutheran Church at Hnausa. It is located across the road from the site of the Breidavik Church and the original Hnausa East / Breidavik Cemetery. Signage at both cemeteries now is simply "Hnausa Cemetery" but this cemetery is also referred to as Hnausa Kirkjubae Cemetery or the West Cemetery.
