Abstract

This series consists of digital copies of registers recording the burial of persons in the Darwin General Cemetery located on McMillans Road at Jingili. The registers record the number of the grave, locality of grave [section], name of the person interred, age, date of burial, name of clergyman officiating, depth of grave at first and at re-opening for later burial, whether lead lined coffin had been used, fees paid, receipt number and remarks. There are columns for date grave re-opened, and if grave site leased. There are 8 registers which record burials for the different sections of the cemetery, e.g. Chinese and other Asiatic (volume 1), Church of England (volume 3), Uniting Church (volume 6), Roman Catholic (volume 8). Amendments were made to the registers in 1989 to correct mistakes made with the entry of victims from Cyclone Tracy. Denominations recorded include Lutheran, Muslim, F[our]Square, and Potters House. Volume 4 also includes a Coroner's Exhumation Certification from 1990.,
