Maroota General
437 Sackville Ferry Road,
Sackville or Maroota General Cemetery is a small monumental cemetery dedicated in 1899. However the earliest inscription extant is dated 1921 and the latest 2001. The monuments are all erect and inscriptions reasonably legible. The site is fenced and maintained in good order by The Hills Shire Council.
Michael Brookouse has contributed the images he made of all visible inscriptions in October 2011. His pictures may be downloaded from the list of inscriptions for this cemetery. That list was compiled with reference to the NSW indices of births, deaths and marriages for additional information.
Sackville Cemetery is 21km from Windsor via Wilberforce, Ebenezer and the ferry to Sackville or 29km via McGraths Hill, Pitt Town and South Maroota. The site is set back from the northern side of the road but the cemetery lane is signposted. Lat -33.477004, Long 150.919876
