Guildford Cemetery was first established in the late 1800s. Today the cemetery remains the chosen resting place of many people wishing to be buried in a traditional setting, alongside some of Western Australia’s most notable pioneers.

The Heritage Council of Western Australia, recognising the cemetery’s historical significance, has listed Guildford on the Register of Heritage Places.

Traditional and denominational burial sections are available at Guildford. In these sections, the Board approves a variety of monumental work including kerb borders, headstones and statues.

Memorial options range from ground niches to rose bushes, niche walls and landscaping features.

Construction of a 168 crypt garden mausoleum commenced at Guildford Cemetery in 2003 to accommodate the cultural and religious needs of certain sections of the community.
