Armidale's first recorded cemetery was located near the south-west corner of Faulkner and Brown streets, where Armidale City Primary School is now situated. A new cemetery was approved in 1861 and dedicated on 2 July 1863 and is the cemetery currently in use today. Relatives and friends of those buried in the old cemetery were given the opportunity to move the headstones and the remains from the old cemetery to the new cemetery. The headstones that were not relocated, were demolished. The cemetery in use today can be located in South Armidale. The cemetery is particularly noted for its two fine brick chapels, monuments dating back to the early 1850s and its impressive avenue of Elms and Cypress trees. The cemetery is divided into denominations and, up until 1966, each denomination was responsible for their portion of the cemetery. Trustees were appointed by the churches for administration and continue to do so. Council has sufficient land at the cemetery to span a further two hundred years.
