Welcome.
The Cemeteries and Crematoria Association of Western Australia (CCAWA) represents cemetery and crematoria authorities across Western Australia. Founded in 1993, its primary goals are to:
- Act as a platform for open communication between cemetery authorities, fostering collaboration and the exchange of ideas.
- Share knowledge, strategies, and innovations to improve the management and operation of cemeteries and crematoria in Western Australia.
- Work towards improving the quality and efficiency of services provided by cemeteries and crematoria to the community.
The association serves as a resource for members, supporting them in operational challenges. It also promotes ethical and respectful management of burial and cremation practices in the region.
