When the inevitable moment of parting arrives, families often find themselves at a crossroads, having to make numerous decisions within an alarmingly brief period. With more Australian families now choosing cremation over burial, scattering ashes might seem a conventional choice. However, the reality often sings a different tune. The majority of families opt for a permanent memorial, a special place for recollection, grieving, and cherishing the memory of their loved one. The parks and bushlands of today, as sentimental as they may be, might not persist in the future. The quiet, serene corners could be transformed into bustling shopping centres or private housing estates. Moreover, moving homes could potentially sever your access to any self-crafted memorial in your garden.
Keeping ashes at home could give rise to a host of problems, from other family members feeling excluded to the absence of a special place to visit. Furthermore, there are concerns regarding safety and security.
Memorial Parks and Gardens serve as timeless havens, specifically designed to hold lasting tributes to the ones we cherish. Providing a secure setting for the commemoration of their lives, they also establish a historical and genealogical record for future generations. The presence of a physical memorial aids in the healing process. The realisation of how many friends and colleagues genuinely cared for the deceased often comes as a comforting surprise to the family, with many opting to visit the memorial afterward. With the passage of time, key dates such as birthdays and anniversaries gain a heightened significance. Some families initially keep their loved one's ashes at home, only to later appreciate the value of a permanent memorial accessible to all.
Should you wish, you can scatter a portion of the ashes at a meaningful location and inter the remainder in a memorial, or create a memorial without ashes. Many families find solace in visiting the memorials of their parents or grandparents on Mother's or Father's Day, and the gardens' chapels often hold special services on these occasions, welcoming everyone to attend.
With options ranging from traditional wall niches to elegant rose gardens, memorials can be crafted as unique and individual as your wishes dictate, and they can serve as an expressive testament to religious and cultural identity.
