Northern Suburbs Memorial Gardens and Crematorium
DESCRIPTION
Northern Suburbs Memorial Gardens and Crematorium, previously known as Northern Suburbs Crematorium was the second crematorium in New South Wales. It was designed by Frank I'Anson Bloomfield (1879–1949), who was cremated there, and also designed NSW and Sydney's first crematorium at Rookwood Cemetery. Bloomfield designed both places with a view to an authentic "florentine" feel. The grounds feature Art Deco statues, Royal Daulton tiles, classic iron work and other period features. It was officially opened on 28th October, 1933 with the first cremation taking place on 30 October 1933.
The Memorial Gardens is a heritage listed site.
