The Rock Cemetery occupies a delightful site 2km from town. It is divided into Anglican, Catholic, Jewish, Lutheran, Methodist and Presbyterian monumental portions with inscriptions dating from 1902. A lawn cemetery, incorporating three columbarium walls, was established in about 1993.
Details of the cemetery layout are graphically displayed at the cemetery entrance (see picture above). With the exception of several that have fallen and broken, the monuments are generally upright and in good order. However, lichen growth has made reading the inscriptions difficult on many of the older granite stones. The grounds feature well kept lawns and mature trees and are maintained in excellent condition by Lockhart Shire Council.
Dawn and John Smith have made digital images of all visible inscriptions at The Rock Cemetery and have also supplied details of a number of unmarked burials from Council records. The inscriptions for this cemetery were compiled from those images and data and with reference to the NSW indices of births, deaths and marriages and to the Australian War Memorial online military rolls for additional information.
From the Olympic Highway at The Rock, opposite the railway station, head south on Scott Street for 0.7km and turn left (east) into Milne Road for a further 0.7km.
