• I, the undersigned, request the Cemetery Operator (Wollondilly Shire Council) to issue a Permit for Interment for the opening of the burial site and the interment of the deceased, and certify that I am duly empowered to authorise the opening of the burial site and the said deceased should be rightly interred in that site. Further, I. the undersigned do indemnify and hold safe and harmless the Cemetery Operator against all actions, proceedings, claims, demands, damages, costs, losses and expenses whatsoever by reason of the Operator having consented to the opening of the site and interment of the deceased.

c)     No existing memorial may be altered or removed without the Cemetery Operator’s prior written approval.

I/we hereby acknowledge that I/we have read, understood and accept the Terms and Conditions for any application for a Permit for Interment at Thirlmere, Picton or Bargo Cemetery and agree to abide by the cemetery regulations.
