The garden of the Family Estate is bordered by four concrete beams forming a square. There are eight lawn graves in total around the outer edge of the square, and they are purchased in pairs.

Family Estate allotments for ashes are also available.

Interments can take place seven days of the week. Graves are dug to double depth. Most graves can be dug to triple depth, which incurs a fee.

Families can have small plantings in the area of the shared garden behind their own allotments.

A small headstone or plaque can be installed on the concrete beam at the head of the grave and is not included in the cost of the allotment.

Documentation is provided after the burial. It will include a list of local stonemasons who can arrange headstone construction.

A plaque is also available instead of a headstone. Please discuss these options with Canberra Memorial Parks staff. A temporary grave marker can be provided between the burial and memorialisation.
