Interments into burial sites

Our burial sites at both Payneham and Dudley Park Cemeteries provide families with a lasting place of remembrance. Each vault, lawn and traditional site allows for the interment of up to sixteen sets of ashes, offering a meaningful way for families to remain connected across generations.

For those who already have a family plot within the cemetery, this can be a thoughtful option to bring loved ones together in one place. Where a headstone is already in place, there are also options to include additional plaques or install vase blocks to create a fitting tribute that complements the existing memorial.

Perpetual memorial options

Our perpetual areas at both Payneham and Dudley Park Cemeteries offer a lasting place of remembrance without the ongoing responsibilities associated with a traditional burial or cremation site. These special spaces provide an enduring tribute that is cared for in perpetuity, ensuring peace of mind for families who wish to honour their loved ones in a beautiful, low-maintenance setting.

Perpetual memorials are also a thoughtful option for those who have moved away from their family’s burial site but wish to establish a place of reflection nearby. Each memorial can be personalised to reflect the life and memory of your loved one, creating a meaningful connection that endures through time.

Our perpetual offerings are unique to each cemetery, please follow the link for more information.
