Wreath-laying and other services policy
The Shrine of Remembrance conducts more than 200 memorial services each year. Most services consist of a wreath laying ceremony in the ceremonial places of the Shrine or at a memorial plaque. This policy establishes the appropriate conduct for all memorial services within the Shrine Reserve.
Memorial Trees and Tree Plaques policy
The practise of planting trees on the Shrine Reserve to commemorate specific units began in 1934 with 114 trees commemorating Royal Australian Navy and Australian Imperial Force units. Over time, more memorial trees and plaques were added to reflect Second World War and post-1945 service, and today the number of memorial trees and plaques has grown to over 320.
This policy establishes the principles for accepting, assessing, and approving applications to dedicate new memorial trees and plaques.
