Woronora Open Day 2013

    The Woronora open day was one of the best I have attended so far, what made it stand out was the focusing and mentality behind the open day.  It was held on the 13th of April (Saturday) 2013, and while the day was meant to go from 10am to 3pm I was there from 9:30am to 3:45pm.

Woronora Open Day

    I recently discovered that Woronora also has an open day, on the 13th of April no less.  Which is rather odd and surprising as none of my funeral contacts knew about it until I started asking about.  And there is nothing about it on the Woronora website.

    The best source of information was Emerald Creative, a site offering various funeral support for mourners, such as order of service booklets, music, and so on.  This is a site I mean to talk about in more detail another time (it really is such a good resource for mourners) but time is rare these days.

    The open day is organised as part of 'Heritage Week', it looks like it could be a fun day, and either way I will certainly be there.  But most interestingly is the government heritage page says there will be a Medieval Regiment display at 10:30 on.

- When: 13th April (Saturday) - 10am to 3pm
- Cost: Free.
- Where: 121 Linden St, Sutherland.

Thanatourism: Woronora

    Woronora is a large cemetery located in the Shire area of Sydney.  I find it a nice place, quiet and peaceful.  But not quite as interesting as others.  Although it does have a unique history and does deserve its own place on this list.

    I am not writing a 'guided tour' of Woronora as I would recommend just wondering about freely.

Guest Post - Cemetery & Crematorium Price Guide

    These are some cemetery and crematorium price guides.  They were sent to me anonymously from someone in the funeral industry.  I don't know if they are accurate, or even how old they are.  But they are interesting.

An Inside Look: Woronora Cemetery & Crematorium

    Woronora is a cemetery and crematorium, the cemetery opened in 1895 and the crematorium opened in 1934.  It is a nice place with good staff.  While sometimes confusing to navigate it is actually fairly simple and one of the easiest cemeteries to find and navigate.

    It is run and owned by a trust.
