  unprofessional phone manners. I expect the person I am dealing with to begin a conversation with introducing themselves followed by brief pleasantries, and a description of what they can offer me. After all, my mother had just passed, this is everyday for the staff, first time for me, I need to know my options so I can make a decision. With one hand on the phone and the other on a calculator, the conversation started with, your mothers ashes can be interred, in this place or that & we can do plaques etc. I interrupted and said I just wanted to collect my mothers ashes, she sounded a little shocked and said "oh, yes, you can do than" I then contacted Woronora, the complete opposite, professional, kind, very helpful

  A beautiful place to spend your final rest, and my grandmother is buried there so I have personally seen its solemn grace and splendour. The plots are well maintained and the flowers are displayed and cleared away before they become older than they should be. Well cut lawns and tranquil grounds are the wonderful last resting place for that sorely missed loved one. Pay your respects in a way that shows love even after death.

  I found the cemetery wonderful and it is worthwhile researching the history of Rookwood on the internet - it will make your visit so much better.

  I love this place. Lots of history, many architectural styles , amazing variety of trees shrubs and flowers. Excellent public facilities, and well maintained it is the largest necropolis in the southern hemisphere.

  A previous reviewer said that Rookwood was "badly designed for the disable". Really??? Rookwood Cemetery was established in 1868 and covers 268 hectares. The cost to make a cemetery that is 149 years old suitable for the disabled, which I am one, would be astronomical, and no-one would be able to afford to buy a grave there.
