Detail InformationEdit

“Eastern Suburbs Memorial Park is a cemetery and crematorium at Matraville, in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, Australia. Land was dedicated as a cemetery site in 1888, with the first interment recorded on 21 August 1893. Since then, more than 65,000 people have been buried there. The crematorium was opened in 1938. The memorial park incorporates Botany Cemetery, Eastern Suburbs Crematorium and Pioneer Park.
Pioneer Park contains historic headstones which were relocated from Devonshire Street Cemetery in 1901 to make space for Central Railway Station. At that time, thousands of graves and 2285 tombstones of the first settlers in Australia were moved to the new cemetery at La Perouse, named Bunnerong Cemetery. In 1976, the Botany Cemetery Trust destroyed most of these historic monuments by creating a new, low maintenance lawn area. The remaining 746 headstones were reinstalled in concrete strips, unrelated to the graves below. The new lawn was named Pioneer Memorial Park. The Eastern Suburbs Memorial Park has recently started expanding burials over this lawn, with interments now abutting the few historic tombstones which were saved.”
