Description
Honouring and Celebrating Life
Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust ( SMCT) is a public entity reporting to the Minister for Health, purposed with providing cemetery, cremation and related support services to the community on the government’s behalf.
Formed in March 2010 under the Cemeteries and Crematoria Act 2003, SMCT is accountable to the Department of Health and administers Bunurong and Cheltenham Memorial Parks, Brighton General, Cheltenham Pioneer, Dandenong Community, Melbourne General, Springvale Botanical and St Kilda cemeteries.
SMCT is responsible for the care and long term maintenance of these eight distinctive cemetery locations. To ensure that the locations will be maintained for future generations, a percentage of revenue is allocated to a Preservation Fund. This fund ensures that resources will be available to maintain all eight cemeteries in perpetuity (for all time).
Over and above the funeral services we provide, we are committed to guiding families through the most important, long term decisions they will need to make when someone dies.
We also recognise our responsibilities as custodians of history.
Historic and iconic, the cemeteries and memorial parks within our care are beautiful, tranquil and distinctive destinations to honour and celebrate life.
