Grave Records
Unfortunately, not all records are complete because Council only gained full control of Brisbane’s public cemeteries in July 1930. Before that time, a number of trusts established under Queensland law managed these cemeteries.

For more information, phone Brisbane City Cemeteries on 07 3407 8128.

Grave location references for Jewish graves at Toowong commence with a 3 (ie Portion 3).
