Brookton Cemetery

Located on Sewell Street on the edge of the Brookton Townsite, the Brookton Cemetery has been in use since 1908 and includes most denominations and non-denominational sections.

Burials

Burials are usually arranged through a Funeral Director and can be conducted on any day. 

Hand filling of the grave can also be arranged. 

Niche Wall

The Brookton Cemetery does not have a crematorium, however, ashes can be interred in the Niche Wall. 

Forms are available from the Shire Administration Centre.

Monuments

Monuments can be installed one year after the burial. A request is to be made in writing and the company constructing and installing the monument usually does this. There is a fee and monuments are to be approved by the Shire prior to installation. 

Reservations

Families may reserve up to 8 (eight) burial plots at any one time - otherwise Council approval is required. All reservations must be paid for at the time of reservation.
