What we offer at Mapleton Cemetery
Ashes into a burial site
If you have a loved one laid to rest in one of our cemetry burial sites, you may choose the burial site as a final resting place for ashes. At a burial site, ashes are interred in-ground, within the footprint of the burial site, and a memorial plaque can be added to the existing burial memorial.
Garden site
At garden sites, the final resting place for ashes are in-ground and your loved one is memorialised with an above ground pier and custom bronze memorial plaque. Our gardens vary in formality and vegetation species, depending on the location of the cemetery.
