Manly Cemetery has been a special and sacred place for Manly residents since the 1870s. It was consecrated as a burial ground in 1865 and officially became a headstone cemetery in 1872. If you walk through the Cemetery you will find there are some burial sites that pre-date this time.
The cemetery is divided into three sections - Anglican, Catholic and General (other denominations).
The historic site, which recently celebrated its 150th anniversary, is the resting place of close to 10,000 people and is one of the oldest in Sydney.
