Columbarium Walls
At Eco Memorial Park, we have 9 columbarium walls in different locations throughout the beautiful memorial gardens.
Also known as a columbarium, is a wall, room or building used to store urns holding the ashes of people who have died and have been cremated. The name “columbarium” comes from ‘columba’, the Latin word for ‘dove’, because columbaria usually have niches to hold the urns that resemble those in dovecotes (dove houses). These are then covered with plaques to protect the ashes inside the brick walls.
This brick feature contains nine walls, with six at ground level and three above in the founders garden, commemorating past service members in this war grave memorial. Plaques over each opening seal the ashes in place in this reflective outdoor space.
If you would like a tour of our memorial gardens prior to making a decision, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

Water Memorial Gardens
In a natural bush setting, you can find the Water Gardens on rocks climbing the hill and surrounded by trees. This memorial garden takes its structure from four large mounds, each with rocks and plaques.

Memorial Gardens Gold Coast FAQs
Why pick a family garden?
- Choosing the family garden option when remembering the life of a deceased loved one may be a very good idea for many reasons. It ensures that your family would all be together in memory and at a beautiful, well-cared-for lot so that even in death your family will be together. This may be a good choice for you if this is something you know you would one day want for yourself when you pass and if numerous family members feel this way, it’s best to get a place you can all rest together sooner.
What makes your services eco-friendly?
- At Eco Memorial Park, allowing people to honour their loved ones whilst remaining environmentally conscious is our top priority. This is done in many ways, one of these being that our staff are all highly trained in the process of cremation which will allow them to provide this service efficiently without causing excess emissions. The output emissions being kept to a minimum is much better for the environment. We also have biodegradable urn options along with solar panels on all of our buildings; the use of dams to collect rainwater for ample irrigation and the use of recycling systems in place at all of our memorial parks.
How can family and friends from overseas pay their respects to their deceased loved one?
- If you’re loved one who has passed away has family and friends overseas who may not be able to travel to the funeral or memorial service, there are alternative options. At Eco Memorial Park we also offer funeral live-streaming services. This allows anyone with a private code and internet access, to witness the funeral or memorial service on a compatible device, live. They will be able to pay their respects from where they are in real time and witness the celebration of this person’s life from the comfort of their home.
Is it better to pre-plan a funeral?
- Pre-planning your funeral is an option many people opt for nowadays. Neither is better than the other as it comes down entirely to personal preference. If you are terminally ill and have been given the unfortunate news, or you know you have lived a lengthy life and now it’s time to put preparations in place, pre-planning may be for you. It relieves your loved ones of stress and doesn’t leave any uncertainty; you’re saying how you want it to be before it happens. It may help you to feel your affairs are all in order however, this can be a very emotionally demanding option so it’s best to choose whichever feels best for you.
Can my pet be buried in our family lot?
- For most, pets are just as part of our family as humans. Losing them is still the same grief. If you’ve purchased a family lot you can have all of your family buried in the same gardens, this includes your pet. At Eco Memorial Gardens we know how important pets can be to people which is why we offer both pet cremations and pet funeral services so yes, your pet can be buried in your family garden space.
Can I leave my flowers at the memorial site?
- Yes, you can leave your flowers when paying your respects. These should still be respectful of those around you and should be left only on your loved ones’ memorial site, especially if you purchased a single garden space. We do have groundkeepers who will ensure the cleanliness of the gardens so they are at risk of being cleared however, they can be laid on your memorial site and should remain until they ultimately begin to die.
Do I have to clean the memorial site?
- No, you do not have to clean the memorial site when you visit, you are welcome to should you want to but you most certainly do not have to. Our gardens are well looked after so your memorial garden site will always be maintained and cleaned by our working team. This ensures that all of our sites remain a lovely and hospitable place of rest for your loved one so we will take care of all of the cleaning, tidying and maintenance that is necessary to upkeep our lovely garden spaces.
