Funeral burials

The City Council has provided local burial for over 155 years. We manage three cemeteries. Richardson Street opened in 1855, Upperby opened in 1881 and Stanwix opened in 1887. They are well maintained and have many attractive trees. All "private" graves are permanently numbered. They have spaces for two burials and are sold for a 30 or 50 year, renewable terms. Many graves are sold in advance, and some people erect memorials prior to their death. A chapel is available at Richardson Street and Stanwix, each with an organ.
