Nudgee Cemetery has been designed to provide a sanctuary that is peaceful and beautiful for mourners to attend. There are several areas for private reflection, as well dedicated zones for different burial options.
The Catholic Church takes great care in the management of the cemetery to keep it well maintained, welcoming and serene.
Each zoned area of the cemetery is divided by a series of paths and roads, gardens, and beautiful monuments offering directions, and words of encouragement.
Benches overlooking the centrally placed lake allow families to enjoy the grounds as they remember their loved ones.
Nudgee Cemetery Burial Options
-
Lawn Cemetery – designed with respect so that every grave has its own headstone, and each plot provides space for up to 3 burials.
-
Monumental Lawn – located upon the hill overlooking the grounds, headstones here have a broad range of options and granites to choose from. The newest part of the cemetery and with a modern feel to its premium offerings.
-
Monumental Cemetery – more substantial than lawn burials, the entire grave is covered with a built monument. Each grave can accommodate up to 2 people as well as ashes. Monuments are maintained by family members and can be elaborately decorated to remember loved ones.
-
Above Ground Vaults – these are concrete “cells” that are built above ground and allow loved ones to be buried side by side. They are encased with granite and provide many options for personalisation. Learn more about Vaults here.
-
Family Chapels – often the preferred choice of Italian families, these provide 8 or 10 beds surrounding an interior altar for private prayer. Can be finished in ornate granites and marbles, with a lockable door to protect interior contents. Learn more about Family Granite Chapels here.

St Brigid’s Garden – this is a designated area for baby memorials and was redesigned in 2004. T. Wrafter & Sons were privileged to be able to provide the beautiful granite dedication stone for St Brigid’s Garden.
-
Crematorium – built in 2004, the Nudgee Crematorium was designed to complement the services and burial options offered by the cemetery. It features a beautiful columbarium wall and is Brisbane’s only Catholic Crematorium.
Despite this, persons of any faith can utilise the crematorium and its services. -
Cremation Memorials – Nudgee Crematorium offers a variety of choices for memorials within the grounds. Even if a person is cremated, a memorial provides a place for family and friends to visit and pay tribute to their loved one.
Families can choose to place their memorial in the Memorial Gardens, the Stations of the Cross Memorial Garden and also along garden edges. Ashes can also be interred into family graves. When purchasing a memorial within the grounds, a plaque and granite plinth is included in the package as standard.
