Where and when you can purchase a burial plot
You can purchase a burial plot at all our cemeteries
for immediate use only.
If you have pre-purchased a plot, deceased remains must be buried in the plot within 60 years of purchase. If the plot remains unused after 60 years, ownership returns to the council.

Payment options for purchase of burial plots
We accept payments by:
- Eftpos
- MasterCard and Visa.
You can discuss payment options with your funeral company or the cemetery.
If we are not charging your funeral company for the burial plot, you must pay the cemetery in full the day before a burial can take place.
Monuments and headstones
Each cemetery is divided into areas allowing for a range of monuments and headstones. However, some cemeteries only allow plaques in lawn areas.
Talk to our cemetery team to make sure you can place your preferred memorial at your chosen cemetery.
Arrangements for inheriting burial plots
