In answer to your question about if there is a 'new' cemetery at Northcote, the answer is no, there isn't. <br /><br />These days, if you reside in the Northcote area, (and have the misfortune to die), then it is most likely you would be laid to rest in nearby (abt. 5 or so km's North at Fawkner, or if you've bought a mausaleum plot at the Melbourne General Cemetery or Preston cemetery, then in either of these cemeteries).<br /><br />Hope this helps your enquiry.<br /><br />Geoff.

As an aside, is there a 'New Northcote Cemetery'?<br /><br />In the images you show, there is an egalitarian streak to the graves laid out. As though noone wants to bignote themselves by being grander, higher, and closer to god (God).<br /><br />The red and white flowers, the clipped bushes, and the lawns are a delight.<br /><br />I also thank you for the history you have included. I like that aspect of many of the contributions to this meme. I love the concept of 'Separation Street'. Such a quaint expression.<br /><br />Grand post, Nick. Much appreciated.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742413208415891459.post-81118279246095119682012-01-24T13:22:04.463+05:452012-01-24T13:22:04.463+05:45Such a peaceful place.
