The Cairns Cemetery is the largest cemetery in the Cairns Region, and is situated approximately 3 kms north-west of the Cairns Business District. The first burial occurred in 1916, at a time when the earlier cemetery (now designated the Cairns Pioneer Cemetery) was approaching capacity. The original burials were of the traditional monumental type, but now options for lawn plaque, lawn headstone, and columbarium wall are available. The Cairns War cemetery, established for the allied war dead of the Second World War, is incorporated within its boundaries. The Cemetery is managed by Cairns Regional Council.
