NSW Health confirms cemeteries will remain open during lockdown after online complaints about accessibility

Mourners in Greater Sydney grieving the loss of loved ones have been assured they can leave home during lockdown for compassionate reasons to mark a death anniversary or pay their respects at a grave-site.

But the Australian Funeral Directors Association's NSW President Nick Maurer said he was aware of 60 attendees allegedly hoping to attend a funeral at Rookwood Cemetery before the number was reduced to ten. Rookwood General Cemetery's latest online advice on Wednesday stated a maximum of 10 people can attend a funeral or memorial service.

Rookwood also said that police will be patrolling the cemetery and may ask about a person's reasons for being there.

So you can go to the beach, no mask. Couldn't visit a grave!🤦

So everyone quickly has a death anniversary or 200 year old grave to visit to pay homage too? Cemeteries should only be open to accept new residents.
