Interment Industry Scheme

CCNSW consulted on a proposed Interment Industry Scheme that sets out how cemetery and crematorium operators must meet families', individual, religious and cultural needs. Stakeholder and community members were invited to provide feedback on the proposed Scheme, with consultation closing on 31 July 2022. All feedback is now being considered before the Scheme is finalised.

Cemeteries & Crematoria NSW (CCNSW) is a statutory agency supporting and regulating the interment industry, assessing interment needs and developing planning strategies for cemetery space. CCNSW also provides information to the public.
