Locating graves
The practice of marking numbers on gravestones was introduced in the late 1900s. As most of the graves at Balmoral Cemetery are quite old, the majority of headstones do not have marked numbers. This can make finding graves at Balmoral Cemetery difficult.
Council recommends you contact the Toowong Cemetery office by email to request a map. State the name of the deceased and the grave location.
