Quirindi General Cemetery
Address: Russell Street, Quirindi 2343 NSW
Quirindi General Cemetery occupies a a substantial, well maintained site on the eastern side of town. It contains inscriptions dating from 1870. The monuments range from sandstone through marble to granite and are generally in good order and erect. We didn't see any evidence of vandalism, although several of the older stones have fallen and broken.
When we visited the cemetery in September 2007, the grounds were in good order with the grass recently mown and we experienced no problems with rabbit holes or broken glass containers. However, there are no amenities provided on site and portion signs and row markers are noticeably lacking.
Every visible inscription was digitally recorded; the images may be downloaded from the list of all inscriptions for this cemetery. That list has been compiled from the images, from notes taken in the field and with reference to the NSW BDM indices and military records for additional information.
