The first meeting of the Kimberley Cemetery Board took place on 10 April 1879. As the above newspaper snippet suggests, trustees were soon appointed to oversee the maintenance of the 40,000 m2 area. Today the cemetery is well kept and ordered, thanks to the allocated rows of plots.

The first interment was in 1879.

Plots are laid out in two blocks, it being decided early on to allocate Block A to the Church of England (Anglicans) and Block B to the Presbyterians. Today there is also a Block C which  remains an open grassed area.

Cemeteries close to Kimberley include Darfield Roman Catholic, Courtenay, Kirwee (St George’s Church), Kirwee Public Cemetery, West Melton, Waddington and Springfield.

High-resolution photographs of the grave are available, plus one or two of the cemetery/church if applicable. This includes a full transcription, particularly for those stones that are hard to read or eroded.
