Rookwood
Established in 1867, Rookwood Catholic Cemetery has supported Sydney’s Catholic community for more than 150 years. Today, it stands as both a cultural and historical landmark, reflecting the city’s rich multicultural heritage through a blend of traditional and contemporary memorial styles. Our team successfully delivered Stage 7 of the Sheehy Avenue Garden Crypts at Rookwood Catholic Cemetery. The works included the construction of 452 precast concrete burial crypts, along with open seating areas, landscaping, extensive paving and stone cladding, as well as associated civil roadworks and pavement reworks. All works were meticulously managed within a live environment, with three roads surrounding the site. We are proud to have contributed to the ongoing development of this significant site and to have supported Catholic Cemeteries + Crematoria, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to caring for and supporting communities.
