Our Cremation Services

Cremation is an option that is taken up by in excess of 80% of people living on the Mid North Coast. Given our multi-cultural nature, this option is appropriate and relevant for many families. When opting for a cremation, the use of a chapel and facilities can be arranged by us at your request.

Crematorium Venues

On the Mid-North Coast, there are several crematorium options. Each location offers a comfortable and private service venue that can be booked from our office.

The regional council operated venues available for cremation and a service on the Mid North Coast are:

• Innes Gardens Memorial Park
• Manning Great Lakes Memorial Garden

All services at the Innes Gardens Chapel at the Port Macquarie Lawn Cemetery are on the hour and last a maximum of 40 minutes. Double bookings can be made for known longer services.

It is not necessary for a service to be held at the crematorium in order for a cremation. The service itself may be held at any venue (club, beach, residence, etc), church or chapel.

Other Cremation Option

• A Private Cremation: This is made up of invited family and guests only.
• A Public Cremation: Any guests may attend.
• A Direct Transfer: Where no family or guest is in attendance (this option is often used if most remaining families live in another area. It is then used in conjunction with a memorial service at a convenient time)
  
  

Our Burial Services

Burial is an option that involves purchasing a grave site at a cemetery of your choice. The cost includes the plot and the ongoing maintenance of the site, and prices will vary depending on the cemetery you choose.

While a grave may be the final resting place of a loved one, the opportunities to reflect and remember are varied and may include the following:

• A service at a church or premises, followed by either a private or public burial at the cemetery
• A graveside service, fully conducted at the grave site at the cemetery
• A direct burial, with no guest in attendance
• Graveside services, or those at another location, will be dictated to by the schedule of the location.

Post-Service Refreshments
