Cemeteries

Darwin's cemeteries include the peaceful resting places of Darwin's earliest pioneers as well as beautifully landscaped grounds being used today. The older facilities include the heritage listed Gardens Road Cemetery in the city, the heritage listed Pioneer Cemetery on Goyder Road and Darwin's only Chinese Cemetery in Stuart Park.

The more recent Darwin General Cemetery in McMillans Road at Marrara, is now closed except for interments into reserved gravesites. The Cemetery is maintained by Darwin City Council and any enquiries in relation to the cemetery or burial records can be obtained by phoning 8930 0583.

Most burials now take place at Thorak Regional Cemetery on Deloraine Road near Berrimah. This facility is managed by the Litchfield Council, is open 7.00am - 6.00pm seven days a week and houses the Northern Territory's only crematorium.

A memorial permit is required to place or alter a memorial.
