Walking along the Islamist Burial Ground is like walking trough an oasis of life, full of palms, cipreses, and different sorts of trees and flowers. it is perhaps the most beautiful place Within the cemetery.

This is a great attraction that is a little out if the ordinary but no less spectacular than some of Sydney’s other sights. What a wonderful place. All life’s metaphors at work in one place. The rich burried next to paupers, old graves taken back by nature. The cemetery is huge and has many chapels and buildings in its grounds. There is also an annual installation art exhibition held here. The plant and bird life is much better than expected.
I am very happy that the Necropolis is taken well care of and I do visit regularly because I have dozens of family members and friends here.
Big and beautiful clean and peaceful cemetery,everything is well organise and easy to find,there's also been some great add on to the place like toilets for the visitors.
A beautiful place to visit your loved ones who have passed. It’s a huge cemetery but easy to find your way around and well maintained.
My favourite place, when my journey ends in this world hopefully I'll there next to my dad! Inshallah
On arrival, I felt a bit weirded out, to be honest. It was, like, ‘what am I doing in a Cemetery?’, but it was awesome. Very big - you can’t possibly do it all in a day. I started with the Islamic section, went on the the Catholic section - where I discovered that my place of employment (st Vincent de Paul) had its own section - and after being moved to tears by the quiet grave plaques of people who had no home and possibly no family/friends to bury them, I decided that was enough for one day. But I will go back. The drive out took me past large tombs - also Catholic - and beautiful, the Quakers section, the Buddhist section and many others I haven’t mentioned. Moving and deeply intriguing
