We hope you enjoy your visit at our website.As one of the oldest cemeteries in Victoria there has been in excess of 75,000 burials.

The Trustees of Boroondara Public Cemetery advise various 12 year tenured memorial garden positions are currently out of tenure. On 1st January, 2005 letters to this effect were forwarded to the contact addresses shown in the cemetery records and people have responded to this correspondence. Of those who have not responded, many envelopes have been returned, marked “address unknown” or “no longer at this address”. The Trust take this opportunity to remind anyone who has a memorial garden position in this cemetery and who has changed their address, to please advise the Cemetery office, on (03) 9853-7025.
