Burial Services
A place to remember, to cherish loved ones who have been lost and to provide comfort to those who are without them is paramount. Burial sites are a constant place of remembrance for years to come as people pay tribute and renew cherished memories.
Ensuring you choose the correct site can be a difficult and painful task. Below is a summary of the services provided at Salisbury Memorial Park. If you require further information please contact our friendly and courteous staff who are always on hand to help.
Three distinct areas are available for the purpose of burial within Salisbury Memorial Park. To download a document with the most current fees, charges and license terms, visit the fees section of the Salisbury Memorial Park main page.
Lawn Graves
Set in beautiful green lawns, these sites are the most utilised and affordable within Salisbury Memorial park. They also incorporate the Orthodox section.
The coffin or casket is buried directly into the earth and the lawn is then grown over the site.
Ledger Graves
The Ledger Section replaces the original area of the cemetery.
This allows for the burial of the coffin or casket directly into the earth and a stone or concrete covering of the entire grave at ground level.
The licence cost in this section is higher than the cost of a licence in the Lawn section because the Ledger section plot size is 30% bigger than a standard plot and the height restriction has been increased to a maximum height of 1.65 metres.
Currently the purchase of a licence in this section of the cemetery also includes the obligation to cover the grave with either stone or concrete within a period of twelve months from the time that the first burial occurred.
Vault Section
The vault section allows for the burial of a coffin or casket below ground level. Concrete walls surround the burial plot so that the earth does not come into direct contact with the burial container.
Fully reinforced concrete walls and a floor are poured simultaneously, ensuring there are no cracks or joins in the finished vault.
Fees include the cost of a double, solid concrete vault poured on-site. The plot size in the vault section is significantly wider and longer than any other section of the cemetery, and height restrictions set in all other sections of the cemetery do not apply.
This allows the client to fix the height of the monument with the approval of the Manager prior to construction.
50 or 99 year licenses can be purchased for this section.
