> Lawn and Monumental Graves

> Lawn and Monumental Graves Honouring the life of a family member and establishing a lasting legacy is a significant decision.

We provide professional and sensitive guidance to you when choosing the appropriate setting for your loved one. Available are a variety of beautiful peaceful settings where their memory will be sustained for generations to come.

Ballarat New Cemetery is a not-for-profit Memorial Park with a long and proud history of meeting the diverse and growing needs of the community.

If you are considering your own wishes, choosing your resting place ahead of time provides comfort in knowing the location will uniquely reflect your life, and provide a focal point for family and friends to gather and share precious memories in the future. Prepaying with Ballarat Cemeteries means that you pay today’s price regardless of when the burial is required and it is a thoughtful way of reducing distress and uncertainty in a time of sorrow.

Ballarat New Cemetery provides a variety of areas designed to meet individual wishes and specific cultural beliefs. Among them are peaceful gardens, spacious lawns, soothing water features, in ground vaults and natural Australian settings. Our staff are available to help you select the perfect location for your needs. We encourage you to phone or visit us to discuss your options or, alternatively, our grounds are open every day of the year for you to visit at your leisure.
