Many of the graves, although enclosed by wrought iron or concrete surrounds, have no headstones and many of those that remain are difficult to access. Some stones have fallen or been vandalised or perhaps been broken by falling timber.
The cemetery covers 20 acres and was laid out in denominational portions - Anglican, Roman Catholic, Presbyterian and Methodist/Wesleyan - as well as an undesignated area probably reserved for expansion and a general portion. In consequence, there are several small and isolated groups of monuments that are hard to find amongst the undergrowth. The earliest known burial took place in 1885 and the latest in 1950.
Previously the responsibility of Evans Shire Council, it is now administered by the Bathurst Regional Council. BRC recently commissioned Conservation Management Plans for all cemeteries under its control, including Sunny Corner.
From all available evidence, the names of 154 persons known to have been buried or probably buried at Sunny Corner Cemetery have been compiled. Most of the graves are unmarked and therefore no inscription images are attached to those entries.
