Gingin Cemeteries and Memorials

The Gingin Cemetery is managed by the Shire and is located on Brockman Street. It is the only operational cemetery within the Shire of Gingin. It has been the final resting place of many locals since 1885 and has beautiful views of the township of Gingin. 

The Gingin Cemetery offers traditional burials and a niche wall for interment of ashes. The Gingin Cemetery has four sections which are Anglican, Methodist, Uniting, Roman Catholic and Non-Denominational.

Arrangements for burials and interments of ashes may be made to the Shire Administration Centre - contact (08) 9575 5100 or email mail@gingin.wa.gov.au. Alternatively your funeral director will be able to provide assistance in matters concerning funeral arrangements.
