Depending on whether the deceased is to be buried, cremated or laid to rest in a mausoleum you have a vast array of memorial options to consider at Macquarie Park. The cemetery’s memorial options include

• lawns, gardens,
• rockeries and
• niche walls,

From the traditional, formal and monumental, to imposing modern sculptured headstones, family owned vaults and crypts within our mausoleum. This wide variety takes full account of the many and varied traditions held sacred by Sydney’s diverse community groups, and the evolving preferences of Australia’s modern society.

Whatever your memorial choice, it will be your everlasting reminder of the times you shared and epitomizes your very own place for personal reflection. A place where memories flood back and where you celebrate the life of those who have gone before. Identifying a fitting location within Sydney’s most beautiful parkland cemetery will very likely dictate the types and choices of memorials applicable.
