context_page_description: Paralowie is a suburb in the north of Adelaide, South Australia, 21.4 km north of the Adelaide city centre. It is predominantly a residential suburb.
context_section_description: Located on Bolivar Road, Paralowie, the now-closed cemetery is the only reminder of the Burton Methodist Church (used to stand by the side of Burton Road), built-in 1915, closed in 1950 and later demolished, and now marked with a memorial stone. An earlier church built in June 1858 also existed here and was used as a school until the 1950s.
  The first burial was that of George Diment, aged 10½ years in December 1866; burials continued until 1957, after which there was a substantial gap until the last burial in April 1971. Attempts have been made to restore the vandalised headstones in the cemetery because it is a site of historical significance.
