Karridale Cemetery is of significance: • As the burial ground for many people involved in the settlement and development of the region from the late nineteenth century. • For its social value through its religious, historical, familial, and personal associations.
The Karridale Cemetery has an open, undulating rural setting with informally scattered peppermint and pine trees. It is laid out over a large area with several distinct developed sections, including a memorial area for the early Pioneers (which displays a list of the known unmarked graves).The site has a random rubble walls and steel gates to the carpark frontage and, adjacent to the entry, a memorial wall and shelter.
