The General section of Rookwood Necropolis. The first burials took place in 1867, cremations date from 1925.
Rookwood was served by a rail spur from the main line from 1867 until 1948. Mortuary stations served each of the three sections of the necropolis, with a fourth at the main junction and a fifth on Regent Street adjacent to Sydney Central Station. In 1951 Cemetery Station No. 1 at the head of the rail spur was sold and moved stone by stone to Canberra in 1957 to become the All Saints Church, Ainslie.
