Dressing the Graves is a unique and very moving ceremony to honour and reflect upon our ancestors buried in the cemeteries of the Copper Coast. Family nominate an ancestor and during the ceremony, a story of that ancestor’s life is read out, and flowers, prepared by local school children, are placed on the grave by the nominator or a relative.

The theme for this event will be Everyday People.

 A maximum of 8 ancestors will be honoured at each cemetery.
