Locating family in our cemeteries

Welcome to the Sunshine Coast Council cemeteries historical burial register. This search tool was developed to assist users to search for loved ones interred in Council cemeteries and to assist with family history projects.

Search the historical burial register (XLSX, 7.5MB)for family members interred in Beerburrum, Beerwah, Buderim, Caloundra, Diddillibah, Eumundi, Gheerulla, Kulangoor, Mapleton, Mooloolah, Nambour Gardens, Old Nambour, Peachester, Witta, Woombye and Yandina cemeteries.

Search tips

To help with your search try:

  • different spellings for names. e.g. Tomson instead of Thomson
  • surname only (without first and middle names)
  • less information can be better.

If you’re unable to find a record 

Not all families choose to inter their loved one’s ashes in a Council cemetery. If you don’t find a record for your loved one, you may wish to try: 

  • private crematoriums and churches in the Sunshine Coast region that also offer ashes interments.
  • speaking to family, the next of kin may have opted to collect the ashes from the crematorium and scatter them in an undisclosed location.
  • contacting the crematorium or Funeral Director.
