Warwick General Cemetery, Historical cemetery in Warwick, Queensland

Warwick General Cemetery is a burial ground in Warwick that extends across multiple sections housing thousands of graves. The grounds are divided into distinct areas designated for different religious groups.

The cemetery was established in 1853 following the town's official layout and is one of Queensland's oldest burial grounds. Its first burial was Thomas Howard, marking the early settlement of the area.

Burials were recorded by denomination: before 1868 the cemetery held 11 Methodist, 5 Presbyterian, 19 Catholic and 25 Anglican graves. A Deed of Grant for 2 acres was issued to Anglican trustees on 23 February 1864, and five denominational trustees were gazetted in June 1868. The German-born benefactor William Mitchner of Allora left £1,500 for the central shelter-shed.

The grounds are maintained by the Southern Downs Regional Council and are accessible to visitors wanting to pay respects or explore the site. Plan time to walk through the extensive grounds and visit different sections of interest.

William Mitchner, a German-born resident of Allora, left £1,500 in his 1918 will for a brick shelter-shed, with a marble cross monument, iron railings, a vault for his body and a plaster bust of himself. Built in 1926, the octagonal structure also has a steeple, bell and belfry.
