Cremation and burial on the Gold Coast

Queensland funeral directors have to publish their prices, so any provider on the coast should show you a price list before you commit. Check whether a direct cremation price includes the crematorium fee before you compare it with another.

  • Cremation on the Gold Coast

    Allambe Memorial Park at Nerang is a private cemetery with its own crematorium, so a Gold Coast cremation does not need to go to Brisbane. The crematorium sets its own fee: ask whether it is in the package price or charged on top.

  • Burial on the Gold Coast

    The City of Gold Coast runs the public cemeteries, including Southport Lawn and Southport General, and sells burial and ashes sites directly. Private memorial parks set their own prices. The right to use the grave and the cost of opening it are paid on top of the funeral director's fee.
