This final resting place officially closed on the 7th June 1873, after which date all funerals were directed to proceed to the new Maryborough cemetery, near the Gayndah Road.

Originally this old Maryborough cemetery occupied the land to Sussex Street before being built on and even Kent Street was a part of it.

In August 1924 the old tombstones and an old leaden coffin were removed and relocated to the new cemetery, however, the majority of those interred remain. The Council received only two requests from relatives for bodies to be exhumed. Henry Hort Brown was re-interred at the new cemetery on the 6th August 1924.

There are many newspaper articles written regarding this cemetery and are available on-line at Trove. On-line indexes can be found via the Fraser Coast Regional Council website.
