Cemetery Mapping

There is now a way for you to easily locate deceased relatives within the cemeteries administered by Junee Shire Council.

All Cemetery Records held by Council including the Old Monumental section of the Junee Cemetery and all Council’s rural cemeteries are now available to be searched through Council’s online mapping system (IntraMaps).

As a licenced cemetery operator, and in line with our licence conditions, we recognise the importance of customer service. When carrying out interment services we will endeavour to provide a high standard of customer service at all times, as outlined in this Charter.
