Burial gives your family a lasting place to visit
There is no single right way to farewell someone you love. Burial offers a permanent resting place and a range of service arrangements to suit your family’s wishes, faith, and budget.
Wollongong City Funerals can hold a full funeral service at our chapel, a church, or a location meaningful to your family, followed by burial at the cemetery. This allows family and friends to gather, share memories, and say goodbye together.
A committal service can be held directly at the graveside, either as a standalone service or following a funeral service elsewhere. This can be a simple, intimate way to lay a loved one to rest.
Cemeteries across the Illawarra offer a range of burial options, including lawn cemetery plots, traditional monumental sections, and natural burial grounds. We will help you choose the option that best suits your family.
Local cemeteries
across the Illawarra
Wollongong City Funerals works alongside trusted local cemeteries, including Wollongong Lawn Cemetery and Woronora Memorial Park, to help you find the right resting place for your loved one. They can also offer a range of plot types, headstones, and memorial options to suit your family.
Burial: your questions answered
Burial involves laying the coffin to rest in a cemetery plot, while cremation reduces the body to cremated remains, which can then be interred, kept, or scattered. Burial provides a fixed, physical place for family to visit, while cremation offers more flexibility in how and where a loved one is remembered.
