The Asian Cemetery at Cossack is one of two established cemeteries in the abandoned town.
Cossack was were the pearling industry began in Western Australia before it moved to Broome. The Asian cemetery is mainly of Japanese working in the pearling industry as divers.
There are at least seven Japanese buried in the Asian cemetery, which sits beside the European cemetery 
, separated by a fence and gate.
An information board about the Japanese cemetery is in poor condition and difficult to read. This is what we can get from it and found from elsewhere to fill in the gaps:
Cemeteries of this period were customarily divided by distinction of race and religion. The Japanese Section of the Cemetery is the only visible evidence of the once large Asian Community of Cossack. Although a minority population in the pearling industry, the Japanese virtually monopolised pearl diving and associated industries
