The Master Plan was supplied by Grever & Ward, Inc., Cemetery Planners, East Aurora, New York. The main concern of the plan was to locate future roads, establish size and configuration of the burial sections, and to locate and design future facilities for the cemetery.

The center of the site had a unique facility in the form of a drainage retention pond for the local community. It was unique in the fact that it did not serve the limited needs of the cemetery, but rather the extensive needs of the upstream and downstream communities within the watershed. The pond has become the prominent feature of this section of the cemetery. In 1983 it was dredged; a surrounding wall was built and aerating fountains were purchased with a generous donation from the Bunnell family. Fittingly, the pond was named “Bunnell Pond” after Arthur Bunnell, President of the Board of Trustees from 1968-1975. The Bunnell Pond remains a centerpiece of the cemetery.
