We will do this with respect for all peoples, our local heritage, our communities and the environment. Kinglake Ranges Cemetery Trust Statement of Purpose and Intentions
Our Purpose:
Our purpose is to progress in stages, the construction of the Kinglake Ranges Cemetery at 265 Whittlesea-Kinglake Road, Kinglake Central. This location is situated on an undulating hillside just outside the Kinglake township, and is surrounded by National Park, with a beautiful view looking across treetops towards the west of Melbourne. For many people their only visit to a cemetery is at a time of saying goodbye to a loved one. Our purpose is to provide the final care for your loved ones, with dignity and kindness. Our Intentions:
Once upon a time, it was normal for family and friends to regularly visit their local cemetery - to celebrate, to pay respects, to picnic and connect. Our intention is to encourage the people of Kinglake and surrounds to do so again - whether it be for quiet reflection, to bring together family, or just to walk and enjoy our local history and our gardens. With this in mind the Cemetery is intended to be a tranquil and contemplative space to spend personal time with departed loved ones. It will be developed with sensitivity of the location and the environment as a bush Cemetery with low growing locally sourced native trees and plants, wherever possible.
