What facilities does a memorial park typically have for hosting a funeral service?
A memorial park may offer a chapel or ceremony space, catering for a wake and gardens where families can spend time after a service. Darren describes these facilities at Albany Creek Memorial Park. Availability, capacity, accessibility, audiovisual equipment and booking times vary between venues, so confirm what the chosen park can provide. Ask your funeral arranger which facilities are included and how the ceremony and any later gathering will be coordinated.
