Memorial Wall
Unmarked graves are a frustration for many family history researchers. To provide an alternative, Bathurst Family History Group (BFHG) erected a Memorial Wall at Bathurst Cemetery in 2019. With Bathurst Regional Council approval, we can now provide plaques to honour these ancestors who died prior to 1970. Proof of burial at Bathurst cemetery is required. Plaques are purchased through BFHG.
