Search tips
To help with your search try:
- different spellings for names. e.g. Tomson instead of Thomson
- surname only (without first and middle names)
- less information can be better.
If you’re unable to find a record
Not all families choose to inter their loved one’s ashes in a Council cemetery. If you don’t find a record for your loved one, you may wish to try:
- private crematoriums and churches in the Sunshine Coast region that also offer ashes interments.
- speaking to family, the next of kin may have opted to collect the ashes from the crematorium and scatter them in an undisclosed location.
- contacting the crematorium or Funeral Director.
