Genealogical Research
Elmwood Cemetery is more than a place of remembrance—it is a living historical record of Perth and the surrounding region. For those researching family history, these grounds offer valuable insight into the lives, relationships, and stories that shaped our community.
We encourage visitors to begin their research through Find a Grave, a widely used online resource that documents burial locations, inscriptions, and family connections. Many individuals interred at Elmwood Cemetery are already recorded there, making it an excellent starting point for genealogical research.
Access to Historical Records
In addition to online resources, Elmwood Cemetery can provide access to select historical documents related to interments and cemetery records. These materials may help confirm dates, family relationships, and burial locations, offering clarity as you continue your research. Availability may vary depending on the age and condition of the records.
Through our Gates ...
We invite you to visit Elmwood Cemetery in person. Walking the grounds, reading the monuments, and observing family groupings can reveal connections that are not always evident in written records. Many visitors find that time spent here brings a deeper understanding of their family’s place in Perth’s history.
