Waverley cemetery, mapsFor an overview of the cemetery layout, colour-coded to the various religious denominations, see below.

Most section notes also include maps indicating the section layout. These are not drawn to scale and are indicative only, but should provide assistance to researchers visiting the cemetery.

The boundaries between various sub-sections, and even between sections, are often not readily apparent on the ground. Intending visitors to the cemetery are advised to read the relevant section notes carefully, and to make full use of the nearby graves reports that this CD can provide.
