Pietà mausoleum update works
- 25 March 2022

On Monday 28 March, construction works will commence on the Pietà mausoleum. These works will allow for the creation of a memorial garden for our community, and will include the addition of new cremation memorial positions for families, as well as extensive landscaping with new garden beds, footpaths and supporting drainage and irrigation. The works are expected to take 6-8 weeks.
All members of our community are welcome to visit loved ones in the mausoleum as per normal, but please note that construction works will be underway when you visit. Please make sure you adhere to on-site signage and take note of entries and exits, as these may have changed since you last attended the mausoleum.
Burial services at the Pietà mausoleum can still continue during this time, and construction will be halted when services are underway to minimise disruption. If you have any questions or concerns about these works, please contact usExternal site.
