Howard Cemetery
Cemetery Road, Howard (Columbarium and Lawn sections)
Tucked away in the rural township of Howard, this historic cemetery has offered a place of quiet remembrance since 1876. Officially named in 1882, the town saw land set aside for both the cemetery and the local police station, marking it as a key part of the early community. Located just 37 kilometres west of Hervey Bay, Howard is steeped in mining heritage and known for its strong sense of community.
Set in peaceful bushland, this cemetery provides a tranquil resting place beneath open skies, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Fraser Coast hinterland - a fitting reflection of the town’s enduring spirit and simple charm.
