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.

Stage Five

Due to the popularity of the Karrakatta Mausoleum and Ossuary, the Metropolitan Cemeteries Board is currently expanding the mausoleum. Stage Five, to be completed in 2008, will feature a number of terraces in a tranquil garden setting.

Interested parties are encouraged to register their interest in the stage five development by calling our Client Services Staff.
