Lismore Pioneer Memorial Cemetery Print Page

The memorial at the front of the cemetery list the names of all those who are buried in unmarked graves. In 1970 the Richmond River Historical Society and Council relocated headstones to a memorial area and recorded names of other burials on memorial plaques. The area was opened as Memorial Rest Park in 1971, and is also associated with Aboriginal burials (in unmarked graves).

The area was used as cemetery from a very early period. The first known burial was in 1860, the last in 1948.
