Talk: Carr Villa Cemetery at Launceston Library
About this Event
National Family History Month is a nationwide celebration of the stories, mysteries and secrets that shape who we are. Join Marion for a virtual tour exploring the history of Carr Villa's beginnings and hear some stories of interesting individuals laid to rest there.
Established in 1905, Carr Villa is situated 5km from Launceston CBD, nestled amidst the suburbs of Kings Meadows and Norwood. Spanning over 50 hectares of land, Carr Villa stands as the principal cemetery and crematorium complex serving Launceston and the wider Northern Tasmania region.
Operating for over a century, the Carr Villa site represents a remarkable blend of nature, history, art, and spirituality. Featuring mature aged trees, rosemary hedges, manicured lawns, and picturesque landscaped gardens, the site offers a peaceful, tranquil setting for both commemoration and reflection.
Marion is president of the Launceston Historical Society and on the committee of Friends of the Library Launceston and Tamar Bicycle Users Group.
