The newest of the cemeteries managed by Wollongong City Council, the Wollongong Lawn Cemetery at Kembla Grange, was opened in 1979. The 65-hectare site is spaciously laid out with a full range of burial options including traditional full monumental portions, lawn areas with bronze plaque memorialisation and above ground crypt mausoleum burials available. Wollongong is a multicultural area, which is reflected in the portions in the cemetery. Ethnic burial requirements are covered by the Macedonian Portion, offering full monument sites, Muslim Portion with graves facing Mecca and the mausoleum for individuals who prefer the traditional European method of burying the body in an above-ground crypt. The main burial areas in the cemetery are non-denominational with bronze or granite plaques placed onto concrete beams. Rose bushes and conifer plants are planted between the concrete beams. Separate sections are set aside for children and baby burial areas. Headstone beam portions are available for those families who prefer a more traditional memorialisation option. A majestic Renaissance-style mausoleum complete with a family capella has been erected at Kembla Grange. The mausoleum provides an above ground burial facility for families. Fresh cut floral tributes may be placed at the grave sites at any time. Special vases are available at the cemetery, placed at different sections of the cemetery. To ensure that the dignified and beautiful atmosphere is maintained, any other types of containers, ornaments or artificial flowers are not permitted and will be removed. Your compliance with this request is appreciated, as it protects the overall appearance of the cemetery and allows essential maintenance to be carried out. Kembla Grange Lawn Cemetery is located off West Dapto Road, Kembla Grange. Pedestrian and vehicular access is restricted to daylight hours only. Kembla Grange Cemetery Location Map
