4.2 / 5 · 76 totalOur experience at Centenary Memorial Gardens was stress-free thanks to the thoughtful and sensitive experience we received from our family consultant Dao. We came away satisfied with our arrangements. Thank you.
The most beautiful cemetery and I love the Kangaroos that will just sit right beside you, the most peaceful and serene place…
After our father’s passing we as a family decided on a burial site at CMG. Our Mum and Dad had attended the grounds in the past and loved it for the Kangaroos and how peaceful the surroundings are. The help and support we were given from Dao and staff was much needed at such a sad time. The gardens are impeccable and have the most welcoming and calm feeling. The effort and attention to detail that all groundsman/women put in does not go unnoticed. We feel that our Dads site is in the best hands and feel that everyone is so respectful of his final resting place
Thank you to Tanya and the team for making a horrific scenario bearable. The team are approachable, responsive and genuinely caring/empathetic. The grounds are immaculately kept. It’s hard to make recommendations about these sort of things but I’m very happy with the decision I’ve made at choosing Centenary Memorial Gardens
Losing our dad was one of the hardest moments in our lives, but the care we received from Centenary Memorial Gardens—especially from Dao—made a world of difference. Dao’s patience, warmth, and deep empathy brought comfort to our family, especially to my mum who was overwhelmed with grief. She guided us through each step gently and respectfully, including the final rituals, making the experience feel personal and meaningful. The gardens themselves are peaceful and beautifully kept, surrounded by ponds, soft fountains, and wildlife like ducks and kangaroos. It is a place of tranquility and quiet beauty—one that reflects love and remembrance in every detail.
I am deeply disappointed with the services provided by this place. It is truly disheartening that a company entrusted with the responsibility of after-death care—a role that demands the utmost sensitivity and professionalism—could handle matters so poorly, and then fail entirely to take accountability for their actions. What is most troubling is the clear disconnect between the values this company claims to uphold and the way it actually operates. Words like compassion, integrity, and accountability seem to function more as marketing slogans than guiding principles. If you are looking for a provider that truly honors the dignity of your loved ones and communicates with clarity and compassion, I strongly urge you to explore other options. Based on my experience, I do not recommend this company.
We can’t thank Centenary Memorial Gardens for the heartfelt Christmas Gathering- we have attended the 2023 and 2024 event. I can’t explain how much it meant to us to ‘celebrate’ this time of year- feeling like we were celebrating with our passed loved one. The atmosphere is very peaceful, knowing that everyone that attends is there to Celebrate with their loved ones as well.
