The older portions of the cemetery, particularly the denominational sections, provide for erection of full monuments or headstones. In the Lawn Sections , provision has been made for headstones to be placed on the concrete beams. Burial sites provide for the interment of two adults and may be purchased pre-need. The Columbarium in the central precinct provides niches for the placement of ashes. Niches can be reserved.
Council arranges for the plaque and placement of ashes.
In 1995 Council prepared a Master Plan for the landscaping and future development of the cemetery. The foundation stone for the Anglican Church at Emu Plains was laid in 1848. Unfortunately, a disastrous bushfire in 1929 burnt down the Rectory and many of the Church records were destroyed along with it, and there was a great reliance on the inscriptions on memorials and tombstones in place at the time to 'rebuild' the burial records. Sometime after the completion of the Nepean River bridge and railway in 1867, other denominational sections were established. Part of the cemetery site stand over the site of the prison quarters and kitchen garden of the 1819 government farm.
