Upper Coomera Cemetery
Gold Coast City, Queensland, Australia

Saville Rd, Upper Coomera
Queensland, Australia

Submitted by Judy Dickson, Aug 28, 2006 [judy_dickson@brisnet.org.au]. Total records = 183.

If you are coming from Brisbane, take Exit 54 (Dreamworld Exit) from the Pacific Motorway and follow the signs to Upper Coomera via Abraham Rd. Turn right into Reserve Rd and follow this around until you turn right into Stephens St. Follow this street around until you see the cemetery sign.

When I visited it was in a well presented and well maintained condition. A small number of inscriptions were worn away totally or partially. Some older graves had missing headstones.

The responsible Council is the Gold Coast City Council. For further information on the cemetery or burials you can contact them by phone from within Australia: 07 55816640 or from Overseas: +61 7 55816640.

When I visited and transcribed this cemetery in July 2006, which includes all existing and legible stones and markers.
