Casket Burial
Prior to the family arriving at the cemetery the assigned plot will be dug and dressed ready for the interment of the casket.
The family will be asked in advance by their funeral director if they wish to fill in the plot (backfill) themselves. Should they choose this option the funeral director, along with cemetery staff, will guide the family through this process at the appropriate time.
Should a family choose not to backfill, the plot will be reinstated by cemetery staff after the family has left the site. Any flowers left by the family will be placed on the plot and will remain there for seven days.
Please visit our Burial Lawn page to find the brochure relating to the chosen burial lawn for details on plot management, including items that are not permitted to remain on the plot.

The last booking time for casket burials, Monday to Friday, is 3.00pm.
Any burials outside of these hours will need prior approval from cemetery management and will incur an after hours fee.
