The crematorium and cemeteries at Woodman Point Quarantine Station (fmr) have cultural heritage significance for the following reasons:
• the crematorium has rarity value as Australia’s first crematorium and this intact facility is therefore the nation’s oldest extant crematorium.
• the place demonstrates the development of quarantine procedures and Western Australia’s quarantine requirements for the sanitary disposal of those who died from infectious disease in Western Australia from colonial times until World War II, particularly during the bubonic plague and Spanish influenza pandemics in the early parts of the twentieth century;
• the place is a focus of cultural sentiment for the families of those who died at the former quarantine station, and to those interested in the site’s human tragedy; and
• the place has the capacity to reveal aspects associated with the history of public health, undertaking and cremation in Australia by means of its tangible and intangible elements.
