Alexandra Cemetery

Alexandra Cemetery was established in 1865 at about the time of the founding of the township.

Located at the end of Ngapara Street, this cemetery is divided into two sections. As you enter the older part of the cemetery on your right, you'll notice a classic monumental style cemetery common for its era dominated by elaborate gravestones decorated with symbolic reminders of death such as angels of grief, crosses, urns, columns and books. Some original ironwork as well as wooden grave surrounds can still be found in this part of the cemetery.

Further along is the lawn cemetery with its standardised layout of gravestones where all burials take place today including ashes and interment sites.

Across from the lawn cemetery is a stillborn baby memorial wall for memorial plaques.
