Cemeteries

Due to heavy rainfall in recent weeks, our mowing crews have been unable to access some areas within our cemeteries to perform regular maintenance. We understand the importance of having the grounds well-kept, especially ahead of Mother's Day, and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

We manage nine cemeteries in Lake Macquarie City:
