Opened in 1949, the New Ingham Cemetery lies just 5 km from town, hidden amongst fields of tall sugar cane.
At first glance, there is grey argyle granite, gleaming white marble and enough tiles to pave a path back home to Italy.
Ornate ceramic flowers and crucifixes adorn the landscape, standing in solemn contrast to the grand mausoleums that define the cemetery’s character.
The Mammino family mausoleum, built in 1952, holds the distinction of being the first of its kind.
Nearby, the Prestipino family mausoleum, constructed in 1955, spans eight burial plots and boasts a stately portico—providing shelter rain or shine. Here, the departed rest beneath pieces of their homeland, a poignant tribute to the rich Italian heritage that helped shape Ingham.
