Burials
How is the grave dug? 
Centennial Park is designed to allow for complete mechanical digging of rectangular graves using a zero swing excavator and front end loader to fill.
How many people can be buried in a grave?
More than one burial is possible in each grave. Advance arrangements are often made where families wish to be placed together. Up to three burials can be accommodated in each grave.
What happens when Centennial Park runs out of space?
Our re-use of graves policy and constant planning together with management of the available resources ensures that Centennial Park will always provide burial and cremation memorials and renewal tenure in South Australia.
What happens to a grave if the tenure is expired and there are no family members?
Our re-use of graves policy allows for a period of 2 years after the licence tenure has expired. If the position is required by another family and the expiry date is over 2 years, Management and the Board of Centennial Park can authorise that the burial remains be placed at a lower level in the grave. The headstone is photographed (which is placed on our records) and then taken from the park and destroyed. All reuse of expired graves is at the discretion of the Board and Management of Centennial Park.
