• We enjoy safe and inclusive community spaces and activities that bring people together.

How is the service delivered?

We have 7 cemeteries and we manage interment rights, registers, burials and interments, organise plinths and plaques. Maintaining the cemetery grounds includes mowing, gardening, weed and pest control, furniture maintenance, rubbish removal, turf, tree and bush land management. Buildings and structures are maintained to be clean, safe and functional. Maintenance work is coordinated to avoid conflict with burial services.
