Goombungee - Haden Cemetery

Goombungee Cemetery offers headstone, ashes and columbarium interment options.

History

The original location of the Goombungee Cemetery is different to where it is today. The first reserve was cancelled because it was impossible to sink a grave and a new site was chosen on the south-east corner of Portion 50V, Parish of Goombungee. On 17 January 1894, a new 6.2 acre cemetery reserve was proclaimed, which was placed in the Government Gazette on 3 February 1894. The first burial took place on 23 July 1894 in the name of Edith Annie Lloyd, aged 10 months.

The name Goombungee-Haden was first recorded in correspondence in 1925, but the grounds have always been officially known as Goombungee Cemetery Reserve until the Committee became incorporated. The Cemetery was handed over to Council in 2008.

In 1990, Sid and John Newton built a brick memorial wall to house eight urns.
