News & Events

GMCT has begun the process of naming the children's section at Altona Memorial Park 'Garden of Little Angels'. 

We look forward to welcoming visitors to our 19 cemeteries and memorial parks in 2018.

Video highlights from GMCT's 2016-17 annual meeting are now available. This year was dedicated to reviewing and improving our services and products, as well as organisational processes and partnerships, in order to provide you - our families, customers and communities – with a better GMCT experience.

The emotions we experience as holidays and anniversaries come and go can be intense. GMCT partnered with the Australian Centre for Grief and Bereavement (ACGB) to produce a series of guides to assist you or a loved one during difficult times. 

Cemeteries can take a bold and visionary approach to planning for the future, according to Australia’s most prominent futurist, Dr Peter Ellyard.

A group of enthusiastic volunteers from the Victorian branch of the Australian Jewish Genealogical Society (AJGS) recently visited Fawkner Memorial Park to explore and document the resting place of some of Melbourne’s Jewish community.

GMCT cemetery receptions will operate on a modified timetable throughout the holiday period.

Due to extreme wet weather conditions, GMCT is experiencing flooding in some areas of its cemetery and memorial park grounds.

Please note the cancellation of Carols in the Garden of Angels, scheduled to be held at Fawkner Memorial Park on Saturday 2 December.

As we enjoy Melbourne's warm summer weather, please consider how you can ensure your safety when visiting our cemeteries.
