Memorial gardens at Noraville cemetery

Noraville now boasts the first memorial garden at a Wyong Shire cemetery.

The facilities were installed by Central Coast Memorials and consist of 128 ash interment places.

Each internment location has a granite marker and base and are 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.

Stage three of the memorial gardens will provide an additional 220 ash internment places.

The memorial gardens are located around a shelter that Council built at the cemetery in 2007as part of ongoing upgrades.

Landscaping and tree planting complements the Memorial Gardens and shelter.

Council’s Business Unit Manager, Tara Mills, said the memorial gardens, offers an alternative to the niche wall or grave sites for the placing of ashes. Our aim is to provide choices to the families of the bereaved.

“The internment sites in the memorial gardens are currently for sale to the public,” Ms Mills said.

“The new sites have been designed to fit in with the surrounding trees and gardens and are priced very competitively.”

“We know that visiting a cemetery is usually a very emotional experience so Council is doing what it can to make a visit to Noraville Cemetery a bit more pleasant.”
