Sutherland, Woronora cemetery, pergola

The Woronora General Cemetery is located in the southern suburb of Sutherland. This pergola, near the Woronora Crematorium, is one of many found in the landscaped gardens at the cemetery. The cemetery opened in 1895 with a special branch railway line bringing funerals to the cemetery.

    Lovely composition. It will look even nicer when the roses grow bigger.

    Cemeteries are some of my favorite places to photograph. The pergola, and surround landscaping, is very beautiful.

    I am going to our cemetery quite often, recently, and find it ugly, unprotected and boiling hot in summer; ugly, unprotected and soaking wet in winter. Sutherland has shown that with a pergola and landscaped gardens, a cemetery can be a place where we might want to visit our parents and grandparents.

    this looks like a park--a beautiful place to be laid to rest.
    love the gazebo.

    a lovely and well-kept graveyard...looks relatively modern and new....I love the attention given to make this a nice place to visit...The blue, blue sky - thru the pix I get to see it, otherwise, it hasn't been seen here in New England for days....
