Chapel and service arrangements

Services at Landican Crematorium take place on weekdays between 9.00am and 3.30pm.

A standard funeral service lasts around 20 minutes and takes place in the crematorium chapel. Families who need more time can request a longer service for an additional charge.

Some families choose to hold part of the service at a place of worship before attending the crematorium for a short committal.

Others prefer a simple committal only, or no service at the crematorium at all. Funeral directors can help families choose the option that best suits their wishes.

Ashes, remembrance and memorial options

Cremated remains are held for two working days following the cremation and can be collected from the office before 10.00am. Families who wish to scatter ashes can do so on the lawns within the Garden of Remembrance, or within a family grave where permission has been granted.

Ashes scattering ceremonies led by a minister or celebrant can take place Monday to Thursday at set times: 9.00am, 9.15am, 3.45pm or 4.00pm. Families who prefer burial of cremated remains can purchase a grave at Landican Cemetery. Above-ground options are also available through the Sanctum 12 memorial vault.

A Book of Remembrance provides a lasting written tribute and is kept in the Remembrance Room within the grounds. Families can also purchase copies of entries as a booklet or remembrance card.

Facilities and visitor information

Visitors benefit from on-site parking close to the chapel and clear access routes throughout the grounds. This helps reduce walking distances and supports guests with limited mobility. The crematorium can accommodate both small private services and larger funeral gatherings.
