Statement of Significance: The Dandaragan Catholic Cemetery has high historic significance for its association with some of the early pioneers of the district.
Situated south of the Dandaragan townsite this small fenced cemetery contains four headstones and several timber crosses.
The cemetery was first surveyed on 23 July 1860 and set aside for burial services. However, it was not formally opened until 26 June 1890. Just prior to the opening a community effort saw that the graveyard was adequately prepared and fenced. Double iron gates at the site cost seven pounds. The first known burial was on 26 June 1890 and the last was on 10 April 1927. [Margaret McConnell & sign].
