The Tasmanian cemetery register includes the following information:

  • the name and address of the cemetery
  • the full name and business address of the cemetery manager
  • the business name, if any, under which the cemetery is managed
  • a way to identify the area used for the cemetery.

Burials on private land, in keeping with section 29 of the Burial and Cremation Act, are not cemeteries.

If a cemetery manager knows there is incorrect, incomplete or missing information in the cemetery register they must tell the regulator as soon as possible and provide the correct information. A fine may apply if a cemetery manager does not notify the regulator.

Landowners can tell the regulator if they think their land is a cemetery or has more than one monument on it and if it is not listed in the register. A fine may apply if a landowner does not notify the regulator.

The cemetery register is current at October 2025 and is updated quarterly.
