Cemeteries

Three cemeteries are located within the Shire of Plantagenet: Mount Barker East and West Cemetery, which is divided by Mitchell Street, Kendenup Cemetery and Rocky Gully Cemetery.

To allow families to more easily locate their loved ones within these cemeteries, we have implemented a new digital cemetery platform, Chronicle.

Chronicle allows family and friends to search for an individual's name or birth date, locate specific plots within the cemetery, access public records, and create an online memorial. A walk-to-grave directional feature can guide you to a specific burial site using your smartphone or device's GPS.

The user-friendly platform can be accessed by clicking the above link to the cemetery or by scanning the QR codes below.

           

Enquiries regarding Chronicle can be made to the Shire Admin Centre in person, by phone (08) 9892 1111 or by email [email protected].
