Listers , If planning a trip to the Independent Cemetery office at Rookwood for some of their wonderful help in locating headstones - Don't. It is permanently closed. As from December 20 it is now amalgamated with the Anglican office. If visiting in person then you can have help for two free requests, Further requests can be made at $10 per request. Both the Independent and Anglican web sites are running as separate entities so do as much planning for any visit as you can from the web sites including printing off maps and keep the hard questions for your two free requests. Its a few years since I have tried to find a grave in the Anglican section. They have done a wonderful job of adding grave numbers at the end of most rows so if you have a row, grave number and section number( from either the web site or the SAG CD) it is far easier to locate what you want than it was when I last visited but be very fit if using public transport. Private transport is virtually essential.It can be kilometres between graves just in the Anglican section. Grave numbers in the Independent sections that I was looking in ( former Methodist and Presbyterian) are almost non existent still in older parts. There are also two LAWN SECTION A B and C parts in the Uniting church portion of the cemetery. One is the former Methodist Lawn cemetery A, B, C, right near the RC office complex. Of course I went to the other one first near the Greek Orthodox. I can't speak for the Roman Catholic office and help at present. My look ups there will be for a future trip to Sydney. I don't imagine they are planning an amalgamation with the Anglican office.:) They have been extremely helpful in past visits. David Central Coast NSW
