Brisbane
is such a great place to live, many have decided to be buried in Brisbane at one of the Brisbane City Council 12 cemeteries
and three crematoria for people of the Brisbane
area.
The Brisbane City Council facilities include venues for burials and
cremations with many of the cemeteries offering memorials for ashes. The
Council's memorial chapels with function rooms are also available for private
services. For more information, visit the council website.
Grave Search
If you're interested in tracking
down a dead relative or famous person of interest, the Brisbane City Council
has a grave location search which helps you search for people buried or
cremated in one of Brisbane City Council‘s cemeteries and crematoriums.
To use, it's as simple as typing in
the surname and first name or initial, which you add into their search
mechanism. The address of where the person is buried pops up, along with a
satellite map with an arrow pointing to the gravesite. Click
here to go to Council's grave location search.
