Chapels
Two non-denominational chapels at Hamilton Park Cemetery cater to all faiths, cultures and beliefs.
The Park Chapel seats 200 people, and a small family room (with facilities for viewing the service) provides a space for children or those who require a little more privacy. Bluetooth is not available in the Park Chapel.
The Greenwood Chapel (attached to the crematorium) seats 50 people and looks out over native trees and vegetation. It also has a viewing area for families who want to view the cremation.
Both chapels have audio and video technology. Outdoor speakers and large glass doors and windows allow services to be attended from outside either chapel, if required. Recordings of the service aren't available at the Greenwood Chapel.

Flowers and memorabilia
Family members are provided with information on what can be left at gravesites, and this is also outlined in signage at the facility.
In the ash interment gardens, fresh flowers can be placed in a vase provided by the cemetery. In other ash or burial areas, flowers can be placed in the vase recess of the memorial.
To help protect the cemetery’s integrity, show respect to people laid to rest there, and protect the safety of visitors and cemetery staff, memorabilia containing glass, ceramics, terracotta, rocks and pebbles, or wire/metal-based items are not permitted. Items will be removed and held for one month. Collection can be arranged through the cemetery office from 8.30am – 3.30pm weekdays, or by prior arrangement on Saturday.
Please contact Hamilton Park Cemetery with any queries about what is appropriate at gravesites.
