Norfolk Chapel at Karrakatta Cemetery Reopens After Restoration

After almost a year of closure following a devastating arson attack in October 2024, the Norfolk Chapel at Karrakatta Cemetery has been fully restored and will officially reopen this month.

The reopening ceremony will include a preview of the restored chapel, with CEO Kathlene Oliver and Hon Katrina Stratton MLC, representing Hon Hannah Beazley MLA, in attendance. This event marks not only the restoration of a historic chapel but also the resilience of the community that treasures it.

A Place of Reflection and Remembrance

The Norfolk Chapel has long been a place where families gather to farewell loved ones, celebrate lives, and find comfort. Its closure left a gap for many in Perth who rely on Karrakatta Cemetery’s chapels for these important services.

Now, after months of careful restoration, the Norfolk Chapel has been brought back to life—retaining its historic charm while being refreshed for the future.
