It can be peaceful and relaxing to sit under the shade of native trees in the older sections, and feel the peace and quiet, or walk among the roses, or admire the beautiful statues of angels and cherubs, and the intricate carving on many of the headstones. In recent years, several groups of people have become interested in the preservation and restoration of the cemetery. As part of a job-training project, local youth have been employed to clear overgrown vegetation, and provide other maintenance works. The inscriptions on gravestones have also been recorded, for the sake of history, and to help people researching family histories. The cemetery is very easy to get to by car or public transport - there are several car entrances, and buses from Strathfield travel through the cemetery, with several stops.
All money raised by the tours is used to restore the cemetery.
