Burial Options

Nudgee Cemetery understands that every person has his or her own idea for their eternal place of rest.  To accommodate each individual's need, Nudgee Cemetery offers many different types of burial facilities.
These include traditional in-ground burials, above-ground interments and memorial gardens for cremated remains.

It is preferable to visit the Cemetery to view the various facilities and discuss these options.  Once the desired type of facility is identified, a selection can be made from available sites.  Many people choose to make this decision in advance so that their family has no doubt as to their preference of facility.

Financial provision can be made for the interment through a funeral bond.  Nudgee Cemetery can provide information on how to go about this.

Nudgee Cemetery provides many different options for the people of Brisbane.

• Lawn Cemetery
• Monumental Lawn
• Monumental Cemetery
• Above Ground Vaults
• Family Chapels
• Community Chapels
• Memorial Gardens
• St Brigid's Garden (Baby Section)

A Certificate of Entitlement for a new facility will be issued by Nudgee Cemetery upon payment of the prescribed fee.

The holder of the Certificate of Entitlement, or person legally acting on his/her behalf, has a number of rights and obligations, principally:

• To provide his/her written permission, and obtain the written permission of the Cemetery, prior to every use of the grave. Such uses include each burial, interment of cremated remains or the installation of any monumental work;
   
• To issue instructions prior to the first burial in the grave, which will determine the number of subsequent burials, if any, the grave will accommodate;
   
• To maintain the grave and any monumental work thereon; and
   
• To advise the Cemetery of his/her current address, in order that contact may be made if there is a need.

The grant of the Certificate of Entitlement for any facility does not convey an interest in the real property of the grave.  The land owner is The Corporation of the Trustees of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Brisbane.

Every Certificate of Entitlement purchased for future use is subject to the condition that it shall lapse if not exercised within 25 years of acquisition.  The holder of an unexercised Entitlement may, prior to lapsing, extend the entitlement upon request.  There are currently no extra fees payable for such an extension.
