Impact of weather at Sandgate Cemetery
The ongoing severe weather has had considerable impact on the grounds at Sandgate Cemetery.
Safety of all who visit and work in our cemeteries is our number one priority.
We are therefore continuously assessing for hazards to keep everyone safe. If areas are identified as posing a risk, they may be closed to the public.
Where possible please reschedule your visit to Sandgate Cemetery.
We understand this is not always possible, so please be aware of the increased risks and adopt safe practices which include:
- wearing secure appropriate flat non-slip footwear
- taking extra care when walking around the site
- following guidance by our staff, and not entering areas that have been closed.

Due to the wet conditions the Lawn is closed to public vehicle access.
Please park your vehicle in front of the site office building located at the first access gate.
