Location

The Woodanilling Cemetery is located on Reserve 11586, Great Southern Highway, Woodanilling WA 6316, approximately 1km south of the Robinson Road/Great Southern Highway intersection.

History

The very first entry in the Burial register was made on the 29th May 1915. Our cemetery is very small and peaceful, with just 132 recorded entries. The cemetery records hold a very important link with past and present resident and is a vital source of information on the history of Woodanilling.

Facilities and Services

With the assistance of our local community the Woodanilling Cemetery houses a gazebo and water tank for the purpose of enhancing visitor comfort.

Council thanks those who have assisted in these projects, namely the Woodanilling CWA for their donation of the gazebo and to Wendy & Peter Bessell-Browne for their donation of the tank stand and water carting.

Forming part of Council’s maintenance program, the cemetery is kept in a neat and tidy condition, and are responsible for the provision of chairs and other special requirements during a funeral.

Our cemetery has religious denominations of the Uniting, Baptist, Roman Catholic and Anglican Churches and also provides a General section. To make a reservation/grant of exclusive right of burial in the Woodanilling Cemetery please contact us.
