Cremation

Overview

Cremation services are available at three of our crematorium facilities: Altona Memorial Park, Fawkner Memorial Park and Lilydale Memorial Park.

Prior to cremation, a funeral service can be held in one of our on-site chapels. Cremation and funeral services can be arranged through a funeral director, or directly with us. Many families find funeral directors helpful for handling paperwork and coordinating services.

What happens to the ashes?

After cremation, you can choose how you'd prefer to memorialise the ashes.

Many families create a memorial at one of our cemeteries or memorial parks. We offer a range of cremation memorial options including wall niches, garden memorials, tree memorials and boulder memorials.

Ashes can also be interred in an existing family grave with the right permission.

Other options include scattering the ashes in our dedicated memorial gardens or collecting the ashes to keep at home in an urn.
