The Cemeteries and Crematoria
Association of
New South Wales,
Australia.

What is a cemetery?
- Lives are commemorated -
- deaths are recorded -
- families are reunited -
- memories are made tangible -
and love is undisguised.
This is a cemetery!
Communities accord respect,
families bestow reverence,
historians seek information and
our heritage is thereby enriched.
Testimonies of devotion,
pride and remembrance
are cast in bronze
and hewn in stone
to pay warm tribute
to accomplishments
and to the life
- not the death -
of a loved one.
The cemetery is homeland
for memorials
that are a
sustaining source
of comfort to the living.
A cemetery is a history of people -
a perpetual record of yesterday
and a sanctuary of
peace and quiet today.
A cemetery exists because
every life is worth
loving and remembering
- always -
