A new addition to the Yarra Valley Mausoleum at Lilydale Memorial Park, the only public mausoleum in the region, is being planned.
This open-plan mausoleum sits nestled between fragrant, trellised wisteria to the east and a beautiful olive grove to the west and is managed by The Greater Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust (GMCT).
The curved shape of the mausoleum frames the surrounding burial areas and gives this section of the memorial park its own sense of community. With the current building nearing capacity, this is the last wing of the Yarra Valley Mausoleum GMCT is planning to build at this stage.
The new building will be constructed next to the grand Yarra Valley Mausoleum. With approximately 500 mausoleum crypts arranged in single and double configurations, this magnificent addition to the mausoleum has options to suit all families.
All with the peace of mind that the Greater Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust will look after this sacred place for generations to come.
“We have a proud history of offering iconic public mausolea and this new development is part of our continued commitment to providing the community with this unique interment option” said GMCT CEO Andrew Eriksen.
This year we are pleased to be able to once again host an All Soul’s Day Mass at Lilydale Memorial Park. Join us for a Mass service at the Federation Chapel in Lilydale Memorial Park on Wednesday 2 November at 10am.
The Mass will be followed by a Blessing at the Yarra Valley Mausoleum at 10.45am. Celebrations will then move on to Lilydale Lawn Cemetery, 120 Victoria Road.
