    Memorial Garden

    Wyong Shire Council has completed stage three of new memorial gardens at Noraville Cemetery.

    The Memorial Gardens now consist of 343 granite marker and base and is located within gardens which have been designed to blend with the natural surroundings. The marker and base is secured to a concrete foundation and a bronze plaque is placed on the face of the marker.

    Landscaping and newly planted trees surround the memorial gardens which are located around the pergola, where cemetery visitors can sit and remember.

    Stage four will include new gardens surrounding the existing niche wall and the creation of a dry creek bed and a bridge. The bridge will guide visitors from the memorial garden to the new gardens surrounding the existing niche wall.

    Memorial Niche WallMemorial Niche Wall at Noraville cemetery
    Noraville cemetery also features a niche wall, with 100 receptacles for receiving cremated remains.

    A Niche can be purchased in advance and reserved. Only half the ashes fit in the wall container.

    Next of kin can either be met onsite by Council staff for the placing of ashes into the wall, or ashes can be collected from local residents. Council does not hold ashes in its offices.

    Each container in the Memorial Wall has a bud holder for flowers.
