The cemetery is divided into a number of areas, each catering to different religions and nationalities. There is an extensive Commonwealth War Graves plot with 472 burials in it, as well as a much smaller SADF Plot and a separate Police Plot. There is a large Jewish section at the cemetery as well as a Holocaust Memorial and the South African Jewish War Memorial.
