The "Old Bega Cemetery" was acquired by the Government in 1943 and in 1952 the Bega High School was constructed on the site. location of their graves cannot be located.

The Bega Cemetery burials date from 1857. It was subdivided into various denominations, Roman Catholic, Church of England, Presbyterian, Wesleyan Methodists, Independents, and others. The cemetery contained the remains of the majority of the people who died in the Bega area between 1857 and circa 1910. This included not only the Christian European pioneers of the Bega township and district but also a number of Chinese, Jews, and possibly some Aborigines. No comprehensive burial register or plan of burials was compiled, but from court records and historical accounts, it is believed that the actual number of internments in the cemetery was between 479 and 668. By 1947 all denominations had agreed to the removal of grave markers and their relocation of these to the new cemetery. In 1902 the present Bega cemetery was consecrated and opened and from 1910 burials in the old cemetery were banned. However, some families did continue to bury their dead in family plots. From the 1920s to the 1940s the cemetery remained disused and was not maintained. Other public buildings such as Central Railway Station and the Victorian markets had been built over cemeteries, and it appeared that building "over" could be one of the solutions because it was preferable not to disturb any graves that were on the site. In 1943 the Commonwealth Government resumed the remainder of the site under the Bega Cemetery Act. This act outlined the procedures required prior to the clearance of the cemetery and the construction of the school. All of the headstones were moved to the present Bega Cemetery location. The remains of the deceased were left at the Old Bega Cemetery where the High School now stands
