Temora Shire Cemeteries

Over the past few years the facilities and environs of the Shire's cemeteries received a much needed boost thanks largely to the assistance of the voluntary group "Friends of Temora Shire Cemeteries".

The Friends of Temora Shire Cemeteries is a totally volunteer group formed following a public meeting in August 1997. The group meets on the third Wednesday of every second month. Meetings are held on the cemetery sites if the weather permits. Currently there are over 30 financial memebers, representing a large cross-section of the community.

While the wider aim has been to preserve our local cemetery heritage, other objectives that have evolved include:

1. The beautification of the cemetery grounds and erection of appropriate maps and signage;
2. The erection of protective fencing;
3. The establishment of proper and adequate drainage;
4. The creation of a complete burial identification record, and plot and row marking;
5. The involvement of the community in annual clean-up days;
6. The ongoing development of research for enquiries;
7. The development of a record for public access;
8. The preparation and distribution of historical information pamphlets;
9. The establishment of a memorial wall and gates;
10. The establishment of rest areas and toilet facilities in all shire cemeteries;

The development and encouragement of community interest and pride in the local cemeteries;
