Mundaring Cemetery is located at the intersection of Yarri Grove and Railway Terrace, Mundaring, Western Australia. Mundaring Cemetery was gazetted as a burial ground in 1906. Prior to the development of the Metropolitan Cemeteries Board each local council was responsible for maintaining their own cemeteries and trustees were appointed to run a cemetery and pass by-laws. Before the creation of Mundaring Cemetery families travelled to Midland and Guildford for funerals.The Swan Express newspaper suggested the location of the Mundaring Cemetery was not proving an ideal site for "the city of the dead" as the ground was too rocky.The earliest burials took place in the Anglican section of the cemetery and the earliest headstone that survives is that of Albert Lemmey, who died at the age of three in 1916. The next recorded burial was that of Private Gordon Jacques of the 28th Battalion. Jacques had been gassed during World War I and returned home for care, dying shortly afterwards in January 1919. His brother carved the timber enclosure that surrounds the grave.The Mundaring Cemetery is administered by the Shire of Mundaring and, since 2007, is no longer available for interments unless already reserved.

Stoneville is a suburb east of Perth in the Shire of Mundaring, Western Australia. It is named after Edward Albert Stone, who was Chief Justice of Western Australia when the place was named in 1905.

In a bushfire in January 2014 a considerable number of houses were destroyed.In 2019 local residents resorted to activism in a bid to stop the proposed North Stoneville SP34 development in favour of more sustainable housing.

A special councillors meeting was held in August, at which the Mundaring Shire unanimously rejected the proposal.
