Cemeteries

The City of Victor Harbor manages the Victor Harbor and Inman Valley Cemeteries. Plots are available for single, double and triple depth burials as well as interment of ashes.

The Cemetery Administration Staff are available to assist families to select the final resting place for their loved ones. Families may choose to remember the passing of a loved one by ordering a bronze plaque through our office or contacting a monumental mason to arrange a granite memorial (selected sections only).

Please contact the Administration Officer (Cemeteries) on 8551 0500 to arrange an appointment.
