Dressing of the Graves – Moonta Cemetery, Kernewek Lowender

The Dressing of the Graves at the Moonta Cemetery begins with a re-enactment of a funeral procession of the era. A moving ceremony held to honour ancestors buried in the Moonta cemetery, this years theme is mine captains. Local school choirs place flowers. A memorable experience and an opportunity to gain unique knowledge on the history of those who lived in the area.

The involvement of our school children lends the ceremonies a truly community atmosphere.

Held as part of the Kernewek Lowender, Copper Coast Cornish Festival – celebrating 50 years.
