Applying for a memorial permit or additional inscription permit
Memorial applications
All memorials need to be applied for by the owner(s) of the cemetery plot through a memorial mason before they can be erected within our cemeteries.
Applications are organised through your chosen registered stonemason with the submission of an application which incurs a chargeable application fee.
Depending upon your cemetery plot type, you may be able to install a memorial stone (for both graves and cremated remains plots).
We advise you consider your preferred type of memorial when purchasing an interment plot.
Applications ensure the following:
-memorials meet safety standards
-display the correct information
-memorials are in-line with our current Regulations.
If you wish to erect, make changes or maintain an existing memorial, you will need to complete our Memorial Application form.
