Dedicated in 1893, Whitebridge Cemetery (formerly known as Charlestown Cemetery) is located in urban surroundings adjacent to playing and sporting fields on Dudley Road.
Immediate use burials are available for one plot only. Council allocates the site location; burials are excavated to double depth (where conditions allow) and in consecutive order so use of land is sustainable. No reservations for additional plots are available.
Ashes can be interred (buried) in family graves by a monumental mason, grave digger or organised through a Funeral Director.
Ashes can also be installed in the niche walls with a granite plaque or in the memorial gardens, with a granite plinth.
A memorial boulder is located in the front memorial garden where memorial plaques (only) are installed to remember family members who have had their ashes scattered or are buried interstate or overseas.

Many victims from the 1898 Dudley Colliery explosion are buried in this cemetery.
The cemetery was originally planned like an English formal garden with graves located in circles and semi-circles dotted around the cemetery.
