====New Protestant Cemetery====
This cemetery are split into two parts: on the left (as you face them from Hosur Road) is Cemetery No.1 and it is the continuation of the Agram Cemetery. It has graves from 1869 to 1917. On the right is Cemetery No.2 and it has graves from 1917 onwards. The cemeteries are maintained by St Mark's Cathedral. Some transcriptions and images for this cemetery can be found on the [http://search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=browse_components&id=882&s_id=197 FIBIS Database]
====Catholic cemetery====
This cemetery is under the charge of the Cathedral of St Francis Xavier and is still in use. However, maintenance is very poor as it covers several congregations and nobody is willing to pay for its upkeep. When it rains, deep furrows are made and stones moved. Burial registers are kept at the Cathedral, but they do not give grave locations.
[[BACSA]] have uploaded [http://www.bacsa.org.uk/gallery/index.php?/category/113 211 photographs of graves in Kulpully Catholic cemetery] to their website.
