Cemetery Masterplan

The City of Launceston via Carr Villa Memorial Park (Carr Villa) has offered cemetery services for over a century. Through the provision of these services the Council extends support to individuals from diverse cultures, faiths, and beliefs, aiding them in celebrating and commemorating the lives of their loved ones.

By offering these services Council is committed to preserving the picturesque, peaceful, and historical importance of the site, ensuring the long-term sustainability to meet the needs of future generations.

Earlier this year, we engaged the community via the Tomorrow Together survey to understand the burial and cremation needs. Now, we're developing a Carr Villa Memorial Park Masterplan, focusing on site utilisation, crematorium operations, services and maintenance.

We invite further community feedback to shape this plan for the future!
