Directions

From highway 11, travel east on highway 118 (towards Vankoghnet) about 5 minutes to Matthiasville Road.  Turn left on Matthiasville Road, and follow it for quite a while (10 minutes?) and you will go over a bridge at the dam.  Just after the bridge, there is a tiny sign on your left indicating the cemetery, and a short path takes you to it.
 
Matthiasville road is actually a huge crescent, and you will have travelled almost all the way round the crescent at this point.  If you continue along Matthiasville, it will pop you back out on 118, quite a distance east of the first entrance to the road.  A more direct route would be to turn left at the second Matthiasville exit, but since it is so much further from the first, people think they've passed it.
