Important Park Updates

Mapping Project - Drones in Use December 5th

We are undertaking a Park Mapping Project utilising drones to develop comprehensive maps of the cemetery. This initiative aims to enhance visitor services, including the implementation of online search capabilities for locating deceased individuals.

Drone operations will take place between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM on December 5th, at an elevation of 45 meters, ensuring that individuals and vehicles are not identifiable. Any incidental personal data captured will be appropriately blurred to maintain privacy.

We are committed to conducting these operations in a manner that is respectful of all activities within the park, and we will pause operations as necessary. Thank you for your understanding as we work to improve the services at our memorial park

Safety update

We kindly remind all visitors that alcohol and vapes are prohibited items to be left within the Park. These items are a health and safety hazard to other visitors and will be removed from a memorial and disposed of.

Similarly, glass, pebbles and fencing will be removed as they pose a danger to our grounds team when maintaining the Park.

Please also be reminded that naked flames are not permissible as the lighting of candles in current weather conditions pose a significant risk. 

Visitor update

We kindly remind visitors that our ornamentation policy extends to our dedicated Baby and Children areas within the Park. Castlebrook Memorial Park understands the sensitivity of ornamentation within these areas however where other clients are impacted, or a safety concern presents, our Park Team will need to remove items in accordance with our policy.

We find that with the warmer months there is an increased risk posed by the presence of insects finding safe harbour amongst some items of ornamentation which can cause harm to guests and employees.

Where removal of items has occurred, please enquire with Reception.
