The Carr Villa Memorial Park Open Day is returning on Saturday, 8 November 2025, from 10.00am to 2.00pm at the Chapel and Crematorium Complex.
This year’s Open Day will again provide a safe and welcoming opportunity for the community to learn more about cemetery and crematorium services, explore the grounds, and engage in open conversations around pre-planning and memorialisation.
For 2025, the program has been expanded to include representatives from the funeral industry, who will join Carr Villa staff to provide guidance and answer questions. This will give families an enhanced opportunity to begin planning, better understand their options, and make informed decisions for the future.
Key activities on the day will include:
- Guided Chapel and Crematorium Tours (every 15 minutes) explaining the cremation process and addressing common myths.
- Meet the Carr Villa Team – opportunities to discuss pre-planning and available support services.
- Funeral Industry Representatives Onsite – advice and information for those considering pre-arrangements.
- Grounds and Garden Exploration – including more than 5,000 roses in bloom.
- Online Burial Records Search – access to family history and genealogy resources.
The Open Day reflects Carr Villa’s ongoing commitment to demystifying deathcare, normalising conversation around end-of-life planning, and supporting the community in making confident, informed choices.
