The Clare Estate Crematorium is 109 years old. The present cemetery grounds were ceded to the Hindu residents of Clare Estate in 1904. Prior to this graves were located in private holdings and open fire cremations took place on private properties.Many of the pioneering residents of Clare Estate were imbued with the idea of service to the community. These residents made representations to the owners of the Estate for a grant of land. They succeeded in acquiring a sizable tract of the land from the surveyor of the Estate, acting on behalf of his principal, a Mr. John Henry Ernest Wall.<br/><br/>
