About Harkness pop-up at Keilor Cemetery
Join us at Keilor Cemetery, one of GMCT's most historic sites, and learn about future of Harkness Memorial Park. We're inviting local residents to meet the team, ask questions, and discuss how this new memorial park will help meet the future needs of western Melbourne. There will also be complimentary coffees provided by Kombi for a Cause.

When: Friday 30 October, 10am – 12pm.
How to get there by car: Parking is available along Cemetery Road and near the Gallery of the Saints Mausoleum. From the main entrance on Cemetery Road, follow the road past the flower stand and continue straight towards the mausoleum. From the Ely Court entrance, enter the cemetery, park at an available space and proceed to the front entrance of the mausoleum.
How to get there by public transportation: There is a nearby 476 bus stop on Ely Court.
GMCT maintains our network of cemeteries and memorial parks in perpetuity, meaning forever, including long after burials have ceased. Keilor Cemetery is one of our oldest and most historic sites. Like many long-established cemeteries in metropolitan areas, it has limited space remaining for future interments.
Looking ahead, we need to continue providing memorial and burial options for growing communities in Melbourne’s west while respecting the history and heritage of our established cemeteries. Harkness Memorial Park, opening in 2027 in the City of Melton, will offer new final resting places close to where these communities call home.
