Rookwood Anglican and General Cemetery

Rookwood Cemetery has been operating since 1867, and is one of the largest cemeteries in the Southern Hemisphere. Rookwood’s longevity makes it a rich and valuable source of Australian history and culture, with great emphasis being placed on conserving the unique heritage of the site. With close to a million burials since the cemetery’s establishment, it is likely that many of us would have a relative whose resting place is within Rookwood’s gates.
