History
Tenterfield's original cemetery was located in Queen's Park (now the Henry Parkes Memorial Public School). The present cemetery was gazetted in 1873. Many of the old headstones from Queens Park have been relocated to the new cemetery.
The cemetery consists of monumental areas divided into denominational areas, a large modern lawn section and two columbaria. There is an area within the cemetery which appears unused but is actually the unmarked burial sites of approximately 20 Chinese from the 1850s. The Tenterfield War Cemetery is within the grounds.
