Memorials and headstones at Ballarat New Cemetery
Ballarat New Cemetery is the primary focus for families arranging new memorials in the region. Located at 1250 Doveton Street North, Invermay Park, the cemetery opened in 1867 and continues to serve Ballarat and surrounding communities.
Set across 55 hectares, Ballarat New Cemetery combines established monuments with lawns, gardens, mature trees and open parkland. More than 78,000 burials are recorded within the grounds, with part of the cemetery set aside for future development.
The Headstone Company can provide our full range of memorial products and services at Ballarat New Cemetery.
- Bronze plaques: An elegant touch to remember loved ones, our bronze plaques are not merely inscriptions but testaments to the moments and memories that defined a life. The warm patina of bronze stands as a reminder that even in the face of time, memories endure.
- Custom memorials: Every life is unique, and so should be the memorial. Our custom memorials encapsulate the person’s essence with intricate details and designs that tell a story of a life well-lived. From classic to contemporary, our craftsmen create memorials that are as unique as the individuals they honour.
- Headstones: The headstone, a timeless symbol of remembrance, stands tall as a testament to a person’s impact on those around them. Carved with care and precision, our headstones capture the spirit and soul of the departed, providing a lasting presence for generations to visit and remember.
- Monuments: Some lives leave an indelible mark on the world, and our monuments pay homage to such legacies. These grand structures honour the departed and serve as a point of reflection for visitors, reminding us of the lasting impact one can have.
Restoration and inscriptions at Ballarat Old Cemetery
Ballarat Old Cemetery is one of the city’s most historically significant places of remembrance. Burials took place in the area from the late 1840s, and today its memorials provide an important physical connection to Ballarat’s gold rush era, the Eureka rebellion and generations of local families.
With more than 35,000 interments recorded at the site and very few interments now occurring each year, our work at Ballarat Old Cemetery focuses on caring for existing memorials.
The Headstone Company can assist families with memorial restoration and repairs, helping preserve ageing headstones and monuments while respecting their original character. Depending on the condition of the memorial, this can involve careful repair and renovation work designed to improve its appearance, stability and longevity.
We can also provide additional inscriptions to existing memorials. Our team takes care to complement the style and layout of existing lettering wherever possible, helping new inscriptions sit naturally alongside the original work.
