Yarraman Cemetery

Yarraman Cemetery offers headstone, lawn, ashes and columbarium interment options.

History

On 1 September 1910, the Minister for Public Lands and Irrigation gave the direction to the Land Agents District, Parish of Cooyar to issue ten acres of land for the use of Yarraman Creek Cemetery. Within that area, about one acre and 23 perches was surveyed off as actual cemetery reserve. This site is on Yarraman-Kooralgin Road, Yarraman.

The cemetery, at that time, was managed by a trust of five local, pioneering gentlemen. However, two of these gentlemen passed away and the remaining three resigned from that trust. In April 1935 it pleased His Excellency the Governor to appoint the Council of the Shire of Rosalie to be trustee of the reserve for the Yarraman Creek Cemetery.

In 1989 a Yarraman Cemetery improvement committee was formed and was part of the initiation of the lawn section within the cemetery. The columbarium was erected as a memorial to the wife of a well known local resident at a cost to himself.
