This cemetery opened in 1880 as an additional burial ground to the existing Anglican cemetery on Tippings Road.

The oak trees lining the long avenue to the cemetery, Early’s Road, were planted at the same time.

Early’s Road takes its name from Stephen Early who was the first undertaker in Cust, as well as a baker, builder, storekeeper and postmaster.

The west section is Anglican and the east sections are Methodist and Presbyterian.

For details of burials, plans, plots etc, of the following cemeteries contact or visit the Cust Museum (open 2-4 pm on Sundays) Cust Public Earlys Road, Cust Anglican Tippings Road, St James-on-the-Cust Anglican Churchyard, Mandeville, Flaxton and Birch hill.
