Monumental
Council will continue to maintain the Cemetery which has been closed to new internments since 31 December 1980. Council's resolution is to honour only grave sites that have been previously reserved. The need to close the Cemetery to new internments was hastened by rising maintenance costs, the difficulties experienced with the Cemetery layout and the lack of certainty of the location of unmarked graves.
The Cemetery was opened in 1871 and was under the control of a Board of Trustees until 1905 when, due to difficulties in finding citizens willing to be trustees, responsibility for the Cemetery was passed to Dalby Town Council.
Recently a survey was completed to mark locations of graves. Due to the portability of the grave markers however, the accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
Lawn
The Myall Remembrance Park was initiated as a project by the Lions Club of Dalby. The Lawn Cemetery incorporates columbarium walls and a rose garden for cremated remains. The first internment in the Lawn Cemetery took place in 1967. The columbarium wall first received ashes in 1969 and the rose garden in 1978.
