Grave location search

Blue Mountains City Council has 9 cemeteries, 8 are active. Our bushland style cemeteries dating back to the 1880's tell many stories about our cultural heritage.
Springwood Cemetery
Faulconbridge Cemetery
Lawson Cemetery
Wentworth Falls Cemetery
Katoomba Cemetery
Megalong Valley Cemetery
Blackheath Cemetery
Mt Victoria Cemetery
Mt Irvine Cemetery
Designed mainly in the 19th century, our cemeteries are traditionally divided into religious denominations with space allocated on the strength of a particular denomination in the locality at the time. Columbarium and ashes gardens were later incorporated.
These sacred places deserve respect and care.
Our cemeteries are open to the public during daylight hours - 7 days a week. Please take care when you walk in and around the cemetery as memorials may not be stable.
