🕯 On 15 October, families and communities across the world unite in the Wave of Light, honouring the babies gone too soon. At 7pm, candles are lit to create a chain of remembrance, symbolising enduring love and connection. 💜

At Remembrance Parks Central Victoria, we hold space for all who grieve and remember today. Whether through reflection, remembrance, or the glow of candlelight, may you feel surrounded by compassion and understanding.

On Ancestor Appreciation Day, we pause to honour the lives, sacrifices, and stories of those who came before us. Their values and traditions continue to shape who we are today.

Whether by sharing family stories, visiting a resting place, or spending a moment in quiet reflection, today offers an opportunity to give thanks and feel connected to our roots. 🌿

Walking through the historic grounds of Melbourne General Cemetery, you see thousands of memorials, each telling a unique story of a life lived. But what is the purpose of a memorial?
It is more than just a name and date; it's a place for the living. A physical touchstone for memories, a focal point for grief, and a legacy for future generations to connect with their family's story.
Having a dedicated place to visit, reflect, and remember can be a profound source of comfort on the journey of grief.

🕊 The International Day of Peace invites us to reflect on the importance of kindness, understanding, and unity in our daily lives. This year’s theme reminds us that peace often begins with small, simple acts of care.

At RPCV, we recognise how precious peace can be—especially for those finding comfort in remembrance. May today inspire us all to hold peace in our hearts and extend it gently to others. 🌿

💛 On R U OK? Day, we are encouraged to ask a simple but powerful question: “Are you okay?” Taking the time to check in, listen, and offer genuine care can help someone feel less alone. 🌿

At Remembrance Parks Central Victoria, we understand how meaningful a caring conversation can be—especially for those carrying grief or quiet struggles. Today, let us be present, patient, and ready to listen.
