How To Choose A Memorial Site In Brisbane

Memorial Gardens

Not many people are aware that there are multiple different types of cemeteries. For example, some cemeteries offer limited burial options, are exclusively mausoleums or do not allow ash scattering. If you or your loved one has always enjoyed being in nature and appreciates the outdoors, a memorial garden may be something you wish to consider.

At Eco Memorial Park, Memorial gardens are well-maintained and are usually open for friends and family members of the recently departed to walk in and enjoy. If you are close by and would love to visit and share special moments, we highly recommend discussing this before making a decision.

Cremation

If you are planning to be cremated or planning a cremation on behalf of a friend or family member, consider how you would like the ashes to be stored or scattered. Some people want their ashes to be spread in a memorable place. In Brisbane, you may scatter ashes on land or water and hold a small, private ceremony without a permit however, we do recommend checking with authorities prior to doing so.

If you are unsure where you wish for ashes to be spread, another option is to bury the ashes so they fertilise surrounding plants. Bio Urns are non-toxic and 100% biodegradable, for example, and can be used to grow a memory tree in your honour or view our other urns and keepsakes

Contemplate Distance

In addition to considering the memorial site, you must consider the location of the site. For example, if a loved one was born elsewhere but spent the majority of their adult life in Brisbane, you may be conflicted about where to select as their final resting place. Some people choose to think about the friends and family of a loved one (or yourself) and what location would be best for the majority of people to travel to.

Whereas, others believe it is of the deceased’s preference and where in the state they felt was most meaningful and like home to them or what they have planned for their eternity.
