Cemeteries
The Shire of Broome is responsible for the administration of Broome's cemeteries. The layout of Broome Cemetery, situated on Port Drive, reflects the unique nature of the area and its strong sense of community. A walk through the cemetery highlights different "family" sections and there are a considerable number of names on headstones that can also be seen in Broome Street names. The Chinese, Japanese and Muslim sections are testament to Broome's rich and diverse cultural history.
The Pioneer Cemetery at Town Beach was initially established as the Seafarer's cemetery and is the burial or commemoration place for a number of significant people in Broome's early history. This cemetery is now closed for burials and it is classified a historic site with conditions for management and maintenance set out by the Heritage Council of Western Australia.
