Creating a memorial for a departed loved one is an important decision and an essential part of the grieving process.
Cemetery memorials are like stepping stones, they anchor the connections between generations, linking the past and the future and offer a timeless, physical point of reflection and celebration of a life lived.
As the popularity of cremation increases so too does the importance of memorialisation.
Many families are not aware that they can honour a loved one’s final wishes by scattering their ashes at a location close to their heart, and still create a lasting memorial in a cemetery.
Geelong Cemeteries Trust offers many types of memorial options, ranging from bench seats, rose, shrub and family gardens, to unique natural burial areas, offering a stunning and lasting memorial that provides a peaceful place to remember your loved one.
The trust also offers a wide range of memorial plaques, urns and jewellery, as well as the option to place an everlasting entry into the Book of Remembrance.
Establishing a memorial in a cemetery is a tangible record of life and this information is easily accessible through cemetery records for any family members who want to research their heritage.
Creating a memorial for a loved one is the final thing someone can do to honour them, and an important first step in preserving their place in history.
Make the mark on what will become part of family history.
