Locating graves and memorials

Lawn graves and ashes memorial sites are easy to locate at the cemetery and crematorium. 

Allotment numbers are marked on the bottom right of most plaques and the numbers run in sequential order.

Not all graves have plaques or headstones, so this should be kept in mind when locating a specific grave by number. 

Carry out a location search to help you find a grave or memorial. Have the person’s first or surname, age and date of birth and/or death on hand.

For further assistance locating graves and memorial sites, visit the cemetery and crematorium during office hours.
