Consultation has concluded
The Greater Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust (GMCT) has constructed a memorial garden with garden pods for the memorialisation of ashes (cremated remains) at Fawkner Memorial Park.
A garden pod is a decorative freestanding pod or plinth for the memorialisation of ashes in the PJ Rock Memorial Garden. A plaque will be placed on the top of the pod and the ashes will be interred inside the pod.
How much will the ROI cost?
Cemetery fees are determined according to a cost-recovery model, which accounts for the cost of the grave or memorial, as well as GMCT’s perpetual maintenance obligations.
The fees charged for rights of interment at GMCT cemeteries help ensure GMCT can maintain each of the cemeteries it is responsible for in perpetuity. The perpetual maintenance obligations of Class A cemetery trusts are outlined in the Cemeteries and Crematoria Act 2003 (Vic).
Fees outlined here will be approved by the Department of Health through a formal process. Details of the process can be found on the Vic Health website
Right of interment
The proposed price for each right of interment for a garden pod to memorialise ashes in the PJ Rock Memorial Garden is $8,125.00.
