Karrakatta Cemetery

Karrakatta Cemetery, Cemetery in City of Nedlands, Australia.

Karrakatta Cemetery is a heritage burial ground in the City of Nedlands, Australia, with traditional graves, lawn sections and mausoleums across landscaped grounds. The site includes several areas such as a keeping place for indigenous remains and memorials from different communities.

Karrakatta Cemetery opened for burials in 1899, the first being that of wheelwright Robert Creighton. Since 1970 the Metropolitan Cemeteries Board has run a Cemetery Renewal programme under the Cemeteries Act 1986, clearing headstones and grave surrounds in sections such as Anglican BC and Roman Catholic FA to make room for new graves, mausoleums and cremation gardens. Western Australia's first mausoleum opened here in 1995.

The cemetery holds separate Anglican, Roman Catholic, Chinese, Japanese, Brethren, Congregational and Wesleyan sections, and redevelopment has renamed many of them, such as Anglican WA becoming Harmony Rose Gardens and Anglican XC becoming Killara Gardens. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission memorial lists 15 Australian World War II servicemen cremated here: 2 sailors, 9 soldiers and 4 airmen.

The cemetery lies in the suburb of Karrakatta, about 7 km west of the centre of that suburb, within the City of Nedlands. Cypress trees stand near the main entrance, whose Waiting House includes a structure designed by George Temple-Poole. The Metropolitan Cemeteries Board runs the site, and volunteer guides from Friends of Karrakatta Cemetery lead walks covering graves, the crematorium and the mausoleum.

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission memorial at Karrakatta lists 15 Australian service personnel of World War II who were cremated here: 2 sailors, 9 soldiers and 4 airmen. Their names appear on the memorial rather than on graves, since their remains were cremated at the site's crematorium.
