The cemetery is located at NW‑06‑16‑13‑W4 (northwest quarter of Section 6, Township 16, Range 13, west of the 4th Meridian) in the Rolling Hills area.
The land designated for the cemetery covers about 4 acres and was originally owned by the Eastern Irrigation District (E.I.D.).

Rolling Hills is a hamlet in the County of Newell, founded in 1939 under the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration (PFRA) resettlement program, in response to drought‑stricken areas in Saskatchewan and Alberta.
