Lake Macquarie Natural Memorial ReserveThe environmentally-conscious natural burial and cremation area is a first for the Lake

Macquarie-Hunter region. Only a handful of Australian memorial gardens offer natural memorial options. It’s not necessarily just for people who specifically identify as environmentalists or

“greenies”, but rather those who’ve tried to reduce their carbon footprint during their lifetime.

There are no traditional headstones, but families can opt to have a natural rock with their loved one’s details placed on a perimeter rock marking the boundaries of the Natural Reserve.

Lake Macquarie Memorial Park’s Natural Burial Reserve fosters the sustainable use of land and features native vegetation. Normal decomposition is encouraged by the prohibition of preparatory

chemicals and the requirement that all coffins or cremation containers are fully biodegradable.

Beyond the mandatory requirements for a natural burial area, families can select the extend to which they lessen their environmental impact. Graves can be hand dug instead of machine dug.

Outdoor Funeral Services. Lake Macquarie Memorial Park has the facilities to offer a selection of tranquil settings in either our Remembrance Garden or the Natural Memorial Reserve for Outdoor

Funeral Services.
