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.
