Use the map for a grave visit

The map of Altona Main Cemetery does not provide a complete grave register. To find one grave, first obtain the section, row and grave number through grave search or from Altona district authority – cemetery administration. Next, locate that section on the linked plan and choose the closest named orientation point for the final approach.

What the markers do and do not mean

A marker on the Altona Main Cemetery map identifies a named place at the cemetery. It does not by itself state that a building is open, that a route is step-free or that a grave lies nearby. For those needs, combine the marker with the access details, the grave reference and, where necessary, an enquiry to the cemetery administration.

Mapped pedestrian entrances

• Pedestrian gate 2: Pedestrian access; no general vehicle access. Observe the cemetery opening hours.
• Hellgrund entrance: Narrow pedestrian gate with a recorded width of about 1.1 m. Check suitability for the intended route and current opening hours before visiting.
