About the Association
The Cemeteries and Crematoria Association was established in 1965, as a trade association working on behalf of, and speaking for, those industries in New South Wales, and continues to represent the interests of Cemeteries and Crematoria in New South Wales.
The opinions expressed, standards attained and disciplines imposed by a unified group carry significantly more weight than those of individuals. A fragmented industry is of little influence or consequence to government, industry or other pressure groups. The achievements of this association testify to the benefits of a unified industry group. The Association is recognised as the peak body for Cemeteries and Crematoria in NSW with strong ties to the Australian Funeral Directors Association, Funeral Directors Association of NSW and the Australasian Cemeteries and Crematoria Association. Our membership covers a wide cross-section of the industry and is categorised into: Member, Affiliate and Associate. Members consist of Councils, Trusts and private companies who maintain and operate facilities providing services to the community. Affiliate members are monumental masons and funeral directors, while Associates are suppliers of goods and services to the industry.
Our regular meetings provide a forum for all members to contribute and are supplemented with social activities which provide the delegates with opportunities to develop working relationships. Our membership subscription rates vary for each category of membership. Members fees are based on the total number of burials and/or cremations per year, which gives an opportunity for even the smallest enterprise to participate fully in the association. Fees for Affiliates and Associates are a set rate per annum. We have in excess of 80 member organisations, which covers a large percentage of the industry in New South Wales.

| Google News (Australian Focus) | Funeral Wire dot Com | Google Green Funerals |
The Index is intended to inform the public about members' cemeteries and operational standards. For example, funeral directors will see the index as useful resource, especially when they need to make bookings and work in "out of town" cemeteries. Members can get more information here.
