Cemetery information:- The first burial in New Cemetery (Brixton) was in 1910 as the Braamfontein Cemetery filled up and more space was needed. As early as 1905 it was reported that “Braamfontein would be fully occupied within 20 months” with 50 burials a week. Brixton is 84 acres in size, located approximately one kilometre west of Braamfontein Cemetery. It was the principal Johannesburg cemetery until it reached capacity and was replaced by West Park/Montgomery Park Cemetery in 1942. However, Brixton comprises many family plots so people continued to be buried there even after West Park had been opened.
