COBURG PINE RIDGE
CEMETERY
|
| In 1971 the old Coburg
Pine Ridge Cemetery reached capacity and management was transferred
to the Fawkner Crematorium Memorial Trust. Since that time, burials
at Coburg have been restricted to additional interments in existing
graves at a rate, currently, of around one per month. |
| Records for this historic
Cemetery begin in 1875 and show around 52,000 interments until 1971.
There is evidence of burials dating back to the 1850s, however the
records for those burials were maintained by each denomination group
and are presumed lost. |
| Graves within the
Coburg Pine Ridge Cemetery are subject to an unusual numbering system.
Numbers are allocated not by position in rows, but by the order of
burial sequence in each area. This meant visitors to the Cemetery
encountered an apparently random numbering system, rather than progressing
in a numerical sequence. In the 1920s this anomaly was addressed and
the graves now have an 'old' number under the original system and
a 'new', more accessible, location number. |
