The Metropolitan Cemeteries Board maintains records for all interments, cremations and memorials at our cemeteries dating back from 1899. For your convenience, this information is now available through this web site as well as at our offices.

The Metropolitan Cemeteries Board took over the administration of the Guildford and Midland cemeteries from the Shire of Swan in 1989. Our search is based on all records passed to the MCB; however, it is believed that these records are not complete.

The Metropolitan Cemeteries Board’s Cemetery Records System was the first of its kind in Australia. It is a computerised tool that enables heritage records to be maintained for all of our cemeteries, dating back to 1899. As of 2005, the CRS has been upgraded to offer additional web-based services which will assist funeral directors and the general public.
