1 Children s Memorialisation Special places to remember treasured young lives

2 The care we uphold for each other is treasured eternally in our hearts... Children s Memorialisation Children touch our hearts, and their imprint remains forever. At Woronora Memorial Park, we are dedicated to helping find the right place to remember and celebrate young lives lost too soon. Woronora holds a special place for parents and guardians. We welcome the tiniest, most fleeting lives into our embrace and give those who mourn their loss beautiful, enriching surroundings in which to express their love. Within our Park, we have set aside precious gardens for children and youth, amid lovingly tended gardens. Set well inside our boundaries, every aspect offers serene vistas, under gently swaying gums and a vast expanse of sky. When there are no words to convey your feelings, we hope the serenity and beauty of our Children s Gardens will give you some measure of comfort and peace.

3 A peaceful place where families may come, reflect and rejoice in a treasured life Karinya takes its name from an Aboriginal word meaning peaceful and happy home. It s a very beautiful and special resting place for children. Beneath towering gums, flowerbeds curve and nestle around one another, creating gardens within gardens. A dry creek bed lined with pebbles winds through the centre, capped by a sweet, white wooden gazebo for reflection and taking in the tranquil scene. Scattered throughout are friendly stone animals that capture the spirit of youth rabbits, elephants, turtles. Letter blocks and hopscotch invite youngsters to do what comes naturally to small children simply play. A tall giraffe keeps a watchful eye on his young charges. Karinya welcomes everyone who wishes to pay their respects. Feel free to bring a picnic to share on the lush lawn. We hope that you ll find a sense of peace within its enchanted borders. A place where you can love, remember and fill your heart with precious memories of a treasured life.

4 Your time with your baby may have been all too fleeting, but love is eternal. Our very special Garden of Angels lets you remember lives taken too soon through miscarriage, stillbirth or ectopic pregnancy. A loss at this time is more common than many would imagine, yet until relatively recently, many families had nowhere to gather and reflect. Nowhere they could openly remember the little life and the hopes they shared for their future together. A death certificate is not needed to memorialise your child s special name for this area, which is important for pregnancy loss before 20 weeks. Fragrant white roses, azaleas and gardenias frame this simple and elegant spot, their delicate beauty offering a graceful backdrop for your quiet moments of contemplation. Here and there, alabaster angels look over the scene, as if to gather each infant in a loving embrace. A life to cherish, no less dear for all that it was so brief. A place where little angels may be commemorated and memories are cherished

5 From our community, for our community Soaring ever skyward Intertwined in an eternal embrace United with a perfect rose Is our gift of peace and hope. Enfolded in our wings are those you love Nurtured, cherished, released and free Yielding compassion in time of loss Gently uplifting those who grieve. Gliding over our beautiful gardens Incomparable serenity awaits Around every corner, a wellspring of hope In times of need and for each new day. The care we uphold for each other Is treasured eternally in our hearts For here lies a place for our memories Now and for generations who pass. Whatever you need, we re here to help. Our caring staff are on hand to help you in choosing the way you want to remember. 121 Linden Street, Sutherland NSW 2232 T F E. wmp.admin@smct.nsw.gov.au W. woronoramemorialpark.com.au Administered by Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust (NSW)
