A memorial plays an important role for those left behind and future generations to come.

It is a place of focus. A place to reflect. A place to visit. A fitting tribute and a site of import for future generations.

A memorial should be genuinely special. Whether a big plaque or a small plaque, a seat, a tree, a rock; the range of memorials available at metropolitan cemeteries is as diverse as the community for whom memorial gardens are established to serve.

An enormous team of gardeners lovingly tend acres and acres of gardens; all with their purpose of providing respectful and splendid locales for commemoration.

In recognition of the need to find something particularly special and the fact that establishing a memorial really does require attention to be spent on the finer detail, the Metropolitan Cemeteries Board offers complimentary memorials selection appointments at all of our cemetery locations. To arrange an appointment, please contact the cemetery of choice on 1300 793 109.

The original purchase price will include the first inscription (i.e. the first commemorative plaque and set of ashes). For additional inscriptions (i.e. additional commemorations), a smaller fee is paid at the time of need. For those not selecting a memorial with the capacity to accommodate multiple family members but wishing to make arrangements for the future, we strongly advise that an adjacent position alongside the first be reserved.

Tree of Life

Hand carved from Donnybrook stone, the Tree of Life supports a number of bronze leaves each of which provides a heartfelt way in which to commemorate a loved one.

Memorial Gardens

Memorial gardens are located throughout Pinnaroo. In keeping with the natural bushland theme of the park, all gardens feature native and bushland style plantings.

Family Trees

A native tree creates a unique living memorial for an individual or a group of up to four. In keeping with the environment, trees are selected from native species ranging from Grass Trees to large Tuart or Jarrah Trees.

Vista Memorials

Vista Memorials at Pinnaroo are offered on bridges located throughout the park and on the Sir Thomas Meagher Lake Boardwalk. They offer a larger plaque size and the serene backdrop of flowing water.
