Greater Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust
Iwan WALTERS (Greenvale) (13:11): I recently had the privilege of visiting and meeting with the team at Greater Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust at Fawkner Memorial Park and Northern Memorial Park, which are such special places for so many families across Melbourne’s north as the resting place of their loved ones. I saw how GMCT is working closely with local religious congregations to ensure that our cemeteries and memorial parks are inclusive and reflective of the needs and traditions of Greenvale’s diverse faith communities. I want to thank Mr Ardimulam Pillay, national president of FESKOVA Australia, for his leadership, dedication and advocacy in working closely with me and the GMCT to ensure that Hindu, Sikh and other funerary practices can be safely accommodated through sensitive and important upgrades at Fawkner Memorial Park.
