Cemetery Plan of Management

The Narrabri Shire Cemetery Plan of Management(PDF, 3MB) reflects the intent of the NSW Cemeteries and Crematoria Act 2013 and other NSW legislation, regulations and guidelines relevant to the administration of cemeteries.

Council as the administrator of cemeteries is the sole determinant of dignified behaviour within cemetery. This includes what constitutes a dignified funeral, monument design and installation, and the placement of tributes in addition to the permanent monument.

To minimise conflict as to what Council considers dignified and appropriate conduct within cemeteries managed, Council has prepared and implemented this Plan of Management.

This Plan of Management provides the instructions necessary for Council staff to administer the routine functions of Council operated cemeteries.
