Cemeteries can provide a wealth of information about the history of a region, as well as for private genealogical research.

Main town cemeteries are still in use with headstones from the past eras. There are also smaller historical cemeteries throughout the shire, and these exist wherever smaller settlements commenced. Many have several grave sites, others only one.

Any historical information sought regarding burials at the Edenhope Cemetery can be obtained from:

• Edenhope and District Historical Society - Geoff Langsworth on 0409 551 911
• Edenhope Tourism Information Centre - 03 5585 1509 or 0427 514 140

You can also check through West Wimmera Visitor Information Centres or any of the websites with Victoria's cemetery details regarding access to the following cemeteries, as some are on private property.
