I was unable to locate a headstone photograph and hope a kind soul visits the KARRAKATTA CEMETERY in WA and can provide a headstone photograph?
Eaneas wife Gladys remains are also buried at KARRAKATTA CEMETERY in WA and I would dearly love a photograph of her headstone as per the attached.
That is unless a site other that Australian Cemeteries and Find a Grave hold a photograph.
Attached is a clipping of the burial location. Should a photograph be secured please PM me.

Hi Westy,
Another source of photographs is Lorraine's Cemetery Records - a wonderful source of free grave photos..

Unfortunately her Karrakatta Cemetery photographs do not seem to include your people.
Thought I'd mention it for future reference.

Karrakatta offer a photo service.

Areas of Karrakatta have been renewed and headstones and plaques removed and the areas re-used.

I note that one is a cremation record and the other memorial only. Location in the Garden of Remembrance EC which appears to be an area which has been renewed and reused and a note on Eaneas's record to contact Administration re location.

I suggest you contact the administration with your query and they may have a photo of the memorial. I found them most helpful with my request for information a few years ago and photos of the graves prior to renewal were emailed to me. Email address on their website http://www.mcb.wa.gov.au/

Hello Rosbal and Cando,
Many thanks for your assistance and the new website for headstone photographs. I hadn't heard of Lorraine's Cemetery Records before o much appreciated for that bit as well. :)
I contacted the cemetery administration as recommended. There is no photograph available so shall complete the process to obtain a copy.
Regards,
Westy
