Mid North Coast Pioneers - Newcastle to Lismore and beyond

Mt. Thompson Memorial Gardens is renowned for its neatly trimmed topiary hedges and lush green lawns. In addition to the sculptures that adorn the crematorium’s façade, visitors to our park take pleasure in the stone statues and fountains scattered amidst the roses. In line with the tropical Queensland climate, palm trees, ferns and hibiscus flowers contrast with our roses and colourful azaleas. Towering native gum trees stand as a testament to the history and maturity of Mt. Thompson Memorial Gardens and its grounds. Other garden features include ornamental wooden benches, stone garden edging and gazebos.

The lovely gardens complement our two chapels, the historic art deco West Chapel and tranquil, modern East Chapel. Both of our chapels are wheelchair accessible.
