Mitcham General Cemetery

The original two acres were established in 1854 for non conformist or 'dissenting' protestant denominations to compliment the neighbouring Church of England Cemetery. It is still accessed through its original entrance on Blythwood Rd and was originally designed in a circular plan of which only about a third was implemented. Infilling occurred from the middle of the 20th century due to the advent of the motor vehicle which enabled easy reversal, so less space was needed than for horse drawn vehicles which preferred to travel forwards.

The cemetery is effectively closed, however, ancestral plots can be renewed and you and your descendants can continue to use them as few have been filled.
