Frequently Asked Questions

How to buy a burial plot?
You can purchase a plot by making an appointment with Brett or Lynda at the office. We will discuss the different options and gardens available, as well as answering any questions you may have. Contact us to make an appointment.

What days are flowers removed?
Dead or faded flowers are removed each week but only if they are looking tired. We don’t touch your newly laid flowers or trinkets.

Can you use glass vases when leaving flowers at a burial site?
No. Glass vases are not to be used as they can blow over and break in the wind causing a safety hazard to our staff and families visiting other graves.

What are the cemetery opening hours?
The cemetery gates are open from 8am. - 8pm. during day light savings. Otherwise the gates are open from 8am. - 6pm.

The office hours are 9am. - 4.30pm. and if you wish to come to speak with one of us about a plot, plaque or require burial information, it is advised that you make an appointment to make sure we are available. The number to ring is 03 5174 9071.

What if my culture requires specific burial?
We are a culturally sensitive organisation catering for people of many different faiths and beliefs. We have an Islamic (Muslim) burial ground as well as grounds for a range of Christian denominations. We also have a Natural Burial Ground for those wishing an ecological friendly burial.

Please talk to us about your requirements.
