News & Events

In December 2016, GMCT introduced a new online contractor/supplier management system that improves workplace health and safety in our cemeteries. The introduction of this system is part of GMCT’s commitment to providing safe spaces for all visitors to GMCT locations.

Noela Bajjali, manager corporate information at GMCT, is a guardian of our rich collection of historical records - some dating back more than 150 years. Following our recent community working bee to prepare records for digitisation, Noela discusses the process of uncovering, preserving and making the stories of our communities available for years to come.

Bike tours will be returning to Fawkner Memorial Park in 2017 following our successful Great Cemetery Open Day tours in 2016. Join GMCT and The Squeaky Wheel to get fit, meet other members of your local community and explore some of the cemetery’s beautiful hidden places.

Members of the public are invited to a meeting about the Northern Memorial Park River Red Gum Park Land extension.

GMCT was a proud sponsor of last week's ‘Death and Dying – Lifting the Lid on it’ comedy event, which saw comedian Jean Kittson entertain a crowd of over 150 with her humorous and sometimes poignant take on death and dying.

GMCT’s ability to realise our vision – to provide lasting memories and peaceful places to remember our loved ones – is dependent on how we respond to the current and future needs of the communities we serve. The new community section on GMCT’s website has been developed to keep you informed.

GMCT is proud to invite the community to the official opening and blessing of Fawkner Memorial Park’s new mausoleum - The Atrium of Holy Angels.
