Cremation Service Options
Centennial Park offers options to personalise your loved one’s final farewell.
Contemplation Court
A temporary ashes memorial area
Contemplation Court is a peaceful place where family and friends can visit and remember their loved ones after a cremation. It’s a calm and peaceful environment for those first weeks and months of grief – when everything can feel overwhelming.
Contemplation Court offers a temporary ashes memorial for up to six months, giving you space to reflect, begin healing, and to take your time in deciding on an enduring memorial, when you’re ready.
Centennial Park is proud to be the only cemetery in South Australia, and the first in the country, to offer this service.
After the cremation
Centennial Park provides options and meaningful ways to commemorate your loved one, each offering a chance to reflect, remember, and stay connected.
Ashes Memorial Garden Interments
A memorial offers a physical connection, a place to say goodbye, to reflect, and to remember someone you’ve lost.
At Centennial Park, you’ll find over 30 beautiful, themed gardens with a range of options. Whether it’s a sunny spot, a favourite rose, or somewhere near water, we’ll help you choose a place that feels just right.
