Rookwood Cemetery — A Place of History & Significance
Rookwood Cemetery, officially known as Rookwood Necropolis, is one of Australia's most historically significant sites. Located approximately 17 kilometres west of Sydney's CBD near Lidcombe, it has been a place of rest, remembrance, and reflection since it first opened in 1867.
The cemetery is the largest in the Southern Hemisphere and the largest Victorian-era cemetery still in active operation anywhere in the world. It spans over 314 hectares and is listed on the NSW State Heritage Register, a testament to its profound cultural, historical, and community importance.
Rookwood is a truly multicultural resting place, with sections dedicated to Anglican, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, Chinese, Greek Orthodox, and many other cultural and religious communities. It is also home to the Sydney War Cemetery, housing the graves of more than 730 service members, as well as the Circle of Love — a shrine dedicated to infants and young children.
Families who choose to place a memorial at Rookwood are contributing to a tradition of remembrance that stretches back over 150 years. National Monuments is proud to serve those families, helping to create and preserve meaningful tributes within this irreplaceable landmark.
