Cremation Memorials

After someone has been cremated there are a range of ways they can be memorialised within Mt Thompson Memorial Gardens, a beautiful, secure and peaceful environment where cremated remains can be placed forever.

The War Memorial

Artist Leonard Shillam was commissioned in 1954 to create St. George and the Dragon panel sculpture for the War Memorial at Mt. Thompson Memorial Gardens.

Overlooking the war veterans section, the sandstone carving is several metres high and more than 20 metres long. At its base is carved the phrase: “They gave that we might not fear”.

Mt. Thompson Memorial Gardens is also the final resting place of many dignitaries, including Sir Colin Thomas Hannah and Sir John Lavarack, both former Governors of Queensland; Sir Arthur Leslie MacDonald, former head of the Australian Army and Australian Defence Force; and the Right Honourable Sir Arthur William Fadden, the 13th Prime Minister of Australia.

 

City View Terrace

Overlooking Brisbane's beautiful city skyline, City View Terrace is our latest cremation memorial offering. With a unique design and stunning location, City View Terrace is the perfect place to secure your memorial.

The location

City View Terrace is situated on a landscaped area off from the heritage-listed West Chapel, with five terraces running down the hillside. A water feature runs through each level and flows into a pond on the lowest point closest to Nursery Road.

The amazing views, mountain ranges and water feature make this a special place of remembrance.
 

Features

The City View Terrace development features a range of memorials made from granite or constructed from bush rock for those families who like a more natural-looking product.

The memorial options include:

  • Seat Estates
  • Family Estates
  • Continuous Rockery Gardens
  • Single Bush Rock Memorial
  • Ironbark Pillars

Ashes can be interred in the memorial or families can choose to have memorials created with ashes.
 

Yarrawonga

Yarrawonga is the final resting place for families, loved ones to remain with each other for eternity.

Mt. Thompson Memorial Gardens offer a range of memorials, incorporating the natural beauty of its surroundings.

Scatter Pillars

Scatter Pillars provide families with an alternative to collections and self-scattering of ashes – an innovative way to provide a connection for families to the place of scatter and memorialisation.

People will love the natural look of the material used to construct these memorials, and they will also enjoy the outlook over the natural bushland area.

Scattering ashes

Scattering the ashes of a loved one has become very popular in Australia. However, choosing the right location is important as a lasting memory in the future. Very often people choose to scatter ashes in a location that was special to their loved one, but over time such places may change or even be built upon, changing the location and with it the memory.

Creating a memorial in a special place helps keep the memory alive beyond the funeral service. Memorials give families and friends a tangible source of comfort, and are an everlasting place to come and remember your loved one. In a memorial park, ashes can be placed without fear of the location changing.
