The plaque commemorates pioneers of Melrose who were buried in Paradise Square between 1846 and 1864.

Paradise Square, originally the old cemetery was the early burial ground for those who died in the vicinity of Mount Remarkable. It served the area from 1853 to 1869 when the new Melrose Cemetery was established. Some bodies were re-interred in the new cemetery. Detailed information boards have been located at the entrance of Paradise Square to provide further information on the burials that are known to have taken place.
