Karrakatta
Mausoleum and Ossuary
The garden crypt mausoleum and ossuary
is located near the historic heart of Karrakatta Cemetery,
just a short walk from Railway Road. The building,
inspired by Mediterranean designs, is crafted from
quality materials sourced both locally and overseas,
and features many beautiful statues, mosaics and artworks
that celebrate the important figures and periods of
Christian life.
Garden Terraces
Covered walkways provide sheltered
access to the crypts in the Garden Terraces. The crypts
are arranged in four levels – Prayer, Heart,
Eye, and Heaven, and are finished in a range of different
granite colours.
Garden Court
The Garden Court is a secluded undercover
area housed beneath a wide spanning polished timber
ceiling. It provides family members with a quiet sanctuary
for reflection and the deceased a fitting place for
final rest. Popular in Europe for many generations,
the Garden Court also introduces the Westminster (below
ground) style of crypt to Karrakatta for the first
time. With limited availability, pre-purchasing of
these crypts is strongly advised.
Chapels
The chapels offer clients a timelessly
elegant environment in which to commemorate a loved
one. Incorporating comfortable ottomans upon which
to rest, a small altar and an air conditioned environment,
the chapels provide families with an intimate environment
for repose.
Private Rooms and Family Rooms
For those to whom privacy and seclusion
is a consideration, intimate family rooms which are
exclusive to a family, and private rooms, which may
be shared between families, are also available.

Five, to be completed in 2008, will feature a number

Interested parties are encouraged

Services Staff.
