Before purchasing BURIAL or CREMATION positions at Bunurong Memorial Park you need to have a full understanding of your rights and responsibilities.

Pre-purchased "Right of Interment"

A "Right of Interment" can be purchased for both burial and cremation positions. A "Right of Interment" for burial positions can usually accommodate ashes of a person that has been cremated but cremation positions can not accommodate burials.

Cremation "Right of Interment" - Is purchased for 'In Perpetuity' (forever). Cremation memorials originally purchased with a 25 year tenure can be extended at any time by payment of a pro rata fee to extend the tenure by any portion of the expired period or may be converted to perpetual tenure by payment of the appropriate fee. Details of fees may be obtained from the cemetery office.

Burial "Right of Interment" � A burial "Right of Interment" is converted to perpetuity once a burial has occurred in the grave. One year before the end of the 25 year tenure period for a "Right of Interment" the cemetery office will begin a process of contacting the registered "Right of Interment" holder/s to reregister their interest in the "Right of Interment". Each registration will be completed on payment of the appropriate fee. Details of fees may be obtained from the cemetery office.

Once a position is converted to perpetuity no further payments are required, regardless of the time period in which the plot is used.
