Coffin Interment Options and Memorials
Taking the step for either pre-arranging your interment place or planning for a loved one or friend is a special task. We understand the importance of finding the most appropriate burial location and funeral options. We have several areas available, each with their own style of memorial or headstone.
Glenmorus is set in beautiful, manicured garden surroundings nestling against native bushland and since we opened in 1970, we have helped care for over 22,000 families with both cremation and burial memorials in that time. We very much hope that there is something here at Glenmorus to suit.
The following provides a brief description of the different coffin interment options available. All the Glenmorus team hope you find comfort and peace of mind in our beautiful memorial park.
Burial Options
-
Basic Lawn Burial keyboard_arrow_right
We have been providing this neat, elegant alternative to traditional monumental burial since the 1950s. Indeed, Glenmorus Memorial Gardens Crematorium was set up with lawn burial very much at its core.
We have availability in our original burial areas in this entry level price bracket. Each allotment has provision for multiple coffin interments and then cremations.
-
Beam Lawn Burial keyboard_arrow_right
In some of our existing areas we have beam lawn burial. This is where a supporting beam of reinforced all weather concrete can have our classic concrete markers or a range of granite markers to complement the standard bronze lawn plaque.
These allotments are scattered through the older areas. Provision for two coffin and two cremation interments
-
Wedge Lawn Burial keyboard_arrow_right
Section 12 Granite
This smaller intimate grouping of coffin burial allotments is set on the high side of the road. Taking in views of Albury to the east and views of the beautiful memorial parklands is a hall mark of this area. The type of memorial here uses our special granite wedge system.
Each allotment has provision for two full sized burial plaques, although our Designer range of plaques are also useful here where two or more names can be included on the one larger sized plaque. We can assist with the perfect size and layout for the plaques in this area.
-
Monumental Lawn Burial keyboard_arrow_right
Section 12 Monument
Here we have the summit of the range of coffin burial allotments. Set at the highest part of the Glenmorus grounds a range of unique designs with our specific granite colours provide for over 110 different shape and colour combinations, and that doesn't include the various plaques!
This area is close to our native bushland and takes in a commanding position overlooking the Glenmorus grounds. To help when visiting, this area has a convenient carpark as part of its layout.

Memorialisation
A memorial is an enduring tribute to a person’s life. It provides comfort and support to families and friends as they reflect on the life that was, and a focal point for current and future generations to remember, pay their respects and celebrate those who have preceded them.
Our beautiful memorial gardens offer a serene environment in a tranquil bushland setting nestled into the surrounding hills. You can choose a resting place for your loved one in exquisitely manicured gardens, beside tranquil waterways or in natural parkland areas.
-
Memorial placement keyboard_arrow_right
Arrangements for the day of placement are entirely up to you. You can choose to hold a service in our chapel before the memorial placement.
This can be a formal occasion with a minister/celebrant or a relaxed personal time to share memories. Or, you can choose a formal or informal service at the memorial site itself.
