Council Cemeteries

There are bushfire mitigation measures and closure triggers in place for Penrose Cemetery, Welby Cemetery, Robertson Cemetery, Bundanoon Cemetery, and Berrima Cemetery.

These cemeteries may be closed depending on the current bushfire danger rating from the Rural Fire Service for the Illawarra/Shoalhaven district. Please refer to the RFS website for the current fire danger rating.

Please note that the rating below overrides any general facility opening status shown elsewhere.

The Cemeteries Information Sheet outlines the terms of management for all Wingecarribee Shire Council public cemeteries, as well as fees and charges.

This information is for:

• People who intend to or have purchased a right of burial or interment of ashes

• Funeral directors and other professional people involved with the use of the cemetery 

The Information Sheet also ensures that the conduct of cemetery visitors is in accordance with reasonable and practical standards.
