Headstone for Volney Grenier, first burial in the cemetery

God's Acre Cemetery was established in 1859 by Thomas Grenier as a burial place when his son Volney Grenier, aged 16, was killed in a fall from his horse.[2] Yeerongpilly Shire Council took control of the cemetery in 1924, and subsequently Brisbane City Council in 1925.[2] The cemetery was surrounded by the Archerfield Airport from the late 1920s.[2] The Federal Airports Corporation now owns the land, but is leased by the Brisbane City Council.[1]

God's Acre Cemetery is listed on the Brisbane Heritage Register.[1]
