Hi folks I was wondering how I could find details about Rockwood Cemetery in NSW? I have my Great Grandma apparently buried there and would like to find her grave. Is it online? If not does the cemetery have an office/address that I could write to in order to locate the grave. I would then hope to be able to ask someone who lives nearby to scan a photo for me. Please note I do not expect anyone to search for the grave's location I hope to do that first so it makes it easier for them to find it in order to photograph. Any ideas how to find a grave at Rookwood Cemetery wherever Rookwood is? Thanks for reading this and for any help or advice anyone can give me. Have a great day Kind regards Julie from frosty ol' Stanthorpe in QLD!

Hi Julie Rookwood Cemetery is one of the major cemeteries in Sydney - the listings are not available on line but there is a CD of the headstone transcriptions - if your grandmother doesn't have a headstone then a phone call to the appropriate religious office can ellicit where the grave site is - if you want me to look up the headstones e-mail me direct and I'll find out for you - I live in Syd so a phone call is easy as well Cheers Deb

Hi Julie Rookwood is split into definate sections. You must know the religion of the person you are looking for. Each religion has there own office and they are open Monday - Friday only. I have phoned them for info before (sorry looked up the phone no in the white pages on line) and they were very helpful. The only catch I found was that some of the family I thought would have been buried in the Anglican section were actually buried in the Independant section. Huge place and even with a map last time I got a bit lost. Rookwood is right by the Olympic site if that gives you an idea of roughly whereabouts in Sydney it is.
