Frequently Asked Questions

What is a memorial?

A memorial is a place where family and friends can visit their loved one for many generations to come. Memorials offer comfort not only as a tribute to those we’ve lost, but as a place for the living to reflect and remember. Centennial Park provides a wide range of ashes memorials varying from traditional rose gardens to contemporary boulders, water features, and walls that can accommodate ashes or plaque-only positions.

What tributes am I allowed to leave at a memorial/grave?

We acknowledge and appreciate the importance of floral and ornamental tributes to those interred at Centennial Park.

We encourage fresh, native, or dried floral tributes at burial positions in the holders that are a part of the memorial, or ash memorial positions in the vases provided by Centennial Park. Re-usable vases are available from dispensers located throughout our gardens. Once the flowers die, our team will remove them from the memorial and place the vases back in the dispensers for others to use.

For safety reasons, glass, ceramic, or any other breakable flower holders are not to be placed on memorials.

Centennial Park may remove any tributes that are deemed to be unsightly, offensive, or a risk to public safety.  Artificial flowers will be removed once they become faded and/or old/torn.

No items, including flowers, are to be placed on the grass or pathways in front of headstones or memorial plaques. This blocks access to other memorial positions and our ability to maintain and mow the area.

Am I allowed to bring plants from home to plant at my position?

We kindly remind our families that no additional plants or landscaping is authorised in our grounds, and if found, will be removed.

At Centennial Park, we are proud to provide beautiful, peaceful, and reflective gardens for our families to remember their loved ones. To keep our gardens maintained at such a high level, we are continually upgrading the features and plants in our Park.

We will always endeavour to contact our families regarding any changes we are planning to make that directly affect their memorial.
