New memorialisation options at Altona Memorial Park

We are seeking feedback in relation to proposed pricing for a range of new memorialisation options.

We have constructed a range of new memorialisation options for cremated remains and lawn graves in the Eucalyptus Lawn area at Altona Memorial Park.

How much will the ROI cost?

Cemetery fees are determined according to a cost-recovery model, which accounts for the cost of the grave, as well as GMCT’s perpetual maintenance obligations.

The fees charged for rights of interment at GMCT cemeteries help ensure GMCT can maintain each of the cemeteries it is responsible for in perpetuity. The perpetual maintenance obligations of Class A cemetery trusts are outlined in the Cemeteries and Crematoria Act 2003 (Vic).

Fees outlined here will be approved by the Department of Health through a formal process. Details of the process can be found on the Vic Health website.

Right of interment

The proposed pricing for each right of interment is as follows:

  • Memorial wall, scatter garden $1300 (plaque included)

  • Cremated remains memorial pod in a garden bed - $8530

The pricing for each right of interment for a new lawn grave is $8,500 (plaque not included).

Provide feedback

The community is invited to provide feedback about the proposed pricing before close of business on 24 June 2024.
