Generations Resting Side by Side.
A photo from my other page, Gardens Of The Silent, where I post all of my cemetery photos.
Lobethal Cemetery, Lobethal, South Australia.
Lobethal General Cemetery was established on 26 October 1886 on Crown Land Section 5162 in the Hundred of Onkaparinga. Its creation followed the closure of two earlier cemeteries near Lobethal’s Lutheran churches, which were deemed too close to domestic water sources by the South Australian Board of Health. The new site, located about two miles from town, was chosen to ensure sanitary burial practices.
Today, Lobethal Cemetery holds nearly 2,000 memorials and remains a quiet testament to the region’s settler history, faith, and resilience.
