Karrakatta Cemetery

I'm trying to listen to a funeral talk on zoom, but the reception is very poor, it's not from my end because my friends are experiencing the same problem. Considering the current climate with covid I would have thought that they would have made sure that there wouldn't be any problems. I just hope no-one is trying to listen in from Italy.

Not really a tourist attractions but it is where many of my family are interred although not to rest in peace. Undergoing a very controversial makeover that is seeing many of the burial markers removed to make way for in-between graves. Upsetting and unnecessary violation of family plots that the board should be ashamed of. If not for these works I would give a five star rating. My family will one day be in unmarked plots, they paid for what they thought would be their permanent resting place and somewhere we and future generations could visit and remember. Sadly that will not be the case.

I cannot understand why the rating on this is so low? I used to live and work near this cemetery so passed it frequently and I noticed it has lovely and very well maintained grounds. The staff were also so kind to assist me in finding the graves of my ancestors, printing out their details and a map so we could pay our respects..

Extremely unhappy with. Karrakatta’s policies. They removed my grandfathers and grandmothers headstone as part of their “renewal program” or should we just call it the destruction of gravesite program.. None of the 7 surviving children were notified!! Apparently they sent out a letter to the grantee but it was returned to sender. The grantee is deceased!!! No further attempts to inform family was made. My parents went to karrakatta to find my grandparents headstone thrown under a tree😡 and his site now bulldozed. He was a serviceman wounded in action. Now they want to do the same with my maternal grandparents grave which we are trying desperately to save. My maternal grandfather was also a returned serviceman. My grandmothers ashes were only put in the grave in 2011. Both these grandparents have surviving children who have been left distraught by the actions of Karrakatta. I would recommend that you DO NOT entrust your love ones to this heartless cemetery which has shown no respect for our loved ones. RIP

Demolished my ancestors graves as part of their 'renewal program'.
