Memorials Tell Our History

Across the world and throughout the ages, the memorialisation of the dead has been considered a defining characteristic of human civilisation. It is a vibrant tradition that continues to this day, including here in Brisbane where you’ll find that a wide range of options are available for you to consider, that suit every budget and every personal, cultural, or religious requirement.

It is very human to acknowledge and commemorate a life well lived and a fitting physical memorial is an enduring way of doing this.

It is human to want to visit the memorials of our ancestors and loved ones, to learn of our own histories and connections to a place, as well as to find comfort whenever we feel grief or wish to mark a date that is important to us. By connecting us to the past, providing for our current needs, or setting our own stories down for the future, physical memorials are integral to the community and generational memory as well to our own personal care while grieving.

Not wishing to leave memorial plans until it is too late is also human and, from antiquity right up to modern times, it has been considered wise to make provision for a memorial while still alive.
