- Suprovat Sydney report.
A new chapter in environmentally conscious burials has begun with the opening of Greendale Garden Cemetery in Bringelly, New South Wales. The first new cemetery to open in Sydney in over 50 years, Greendale Garden is designed with sustainability at its core, the cemetery provides families with an option that not only honours their loved ones but also cares for the earth.
“We saw the growing need for a space where families could lay their loved ones to rest in a way that aligns with their values and respects the environment,” said Sahar Dandan, CEO of Greendale Garden Cemetery, during a visit from Abdullah Yousuf, editor-in-chief of the only Bangladeshi community newspaper.
Unlike traditional cemeteries, Greendale Garden Cemetery avoids chemical embalming and exclusively allows only biodegradable materials in the grace. Bodies are prepared as naturally as possible, ensuring a return to the earth in the most natural way possible.
But sustainability here goes beyond burial practices. “Our vision is to create a welcoming space for all communities while prioritising environmental responsibility,” Dandan explained. “From native flora surroundings to renewable interment rights, we offer meaningful options that preserve both memories and nature for future generations.”
The Muslim community will undoubtedly benefit from this extraordinary project, and we should seize this opportunity. The pricing is exceptionally affordable and reasonable. For more details, please visit www.greendalegarden.com.au.
