Cemetery Toilets in New South Wales

New South Wales records 56 of Australia's 162 public toilets at cemeteries and memorial parks — 35% of the national total. That is more than any other state or territory — Queensland is next with 35. They sit in 52 named towns.

Rookwood (4) and Deniliquin (2) carry the most between them. Those 2 account for 6 of the 56; a further 50 towns record exactly one.

Named listings include Karangi Cemetery at 956 Coramba Road, Goulburn Cemetery, Mudgee Monumental Cemetery and Eastern Suburbs Memorial Park. Around Rookwood the listings run to Rookwood Cemetery - Remembrance Lawn 3, Sacred Heart Cemetery and Macedonian Orthodox Section.

Of the 56, 41 have parking on site, 26 are recorded as wheelchair accessible and 6 have drinking water. They are 1% of the 7,651 public toilets recorded in New South Wales, and 1% of the round-the-clock ones.

26 of the 56 are recorded as wheelchair accessible — including The Rock Cemetery and East Kempsey Cemetery. 2 need a key from the operator instead, which means finding whoever holds it before you arrive. 5 of the 56 have a baby-change table, and 4 of those sit at a site that is also wheelchair accessible.

19 of the 56 are published as open 24 hours — such as Cemetery and South West Rocks Cemetery. 27 open in daylight hours only and 4 list variable hours. Where set times are published, the earliest opening is 7am at Waverley Cemetery and the latest closing is 5pm at St Marys Cemetery. 31 publish no weekly hours at all, so treat those as unknown rather than open.

None of them are recorded as charging for entry. Cemetery facilities are recorded at the grounds, usually near the office or chapel, and follow the gate hours rather than any posted toilet hours. Every figure here is counted from the National Public Toilet Map, which operators and councils update at their own pace.
