Funerals at Rookwood Memorial Gardens
Central to Lidcombe, Bankstown and many culturally diverse suburbs of Sydney, is the historic Rookwood Memorial Gardens.
Rookwood is significant to Sydney’s history, due in part to the impressive, Tuscany-style chapels, with arches and porticos, surrounded by manicured gardens.
We offer an affordable Cremation + Funeral package for only $4,999.
Or, if you are looking for a direct cremation without a funeral, we offer a Cremation Only package for $1,840.
