Cemetery

In accordance with the Northam Cemeteries Local Law 2008 the Shire strives to maintain a community focus by conserving the historical links of the area for local families.

The Shire is committed to the management and administration of our cemeteries to ensure that all processes are delivered in a safer manner and follow industry best practice and standards.

Arrangements

Arrangements may be made either through the Shire Administration Centre on 9622 6100, alternatively your Funeral Director will be able to provide assistance in matters concerning a funeral. The Northam Cemetery offers traditional burials, lawn section burials and a Niche Wall for internment of ashes.

Burials

To organise a funeral, please contact a funeral director who can assist you throughout the process and who can liaise with the Shire on your behalf. In accordance with Northam Cemeteries Local Law 2008, the Shire requires at least twenty four (24) hours’ notice to prepare a burial plot within our cemeteries, otherwise an extra charge may be made.
