Visitor Update: Wednesday, 13 May

If you are planning to visit Springvale Botanical Cemetery on the morning of Wednesday, 13 May, please note a temporary change to our customer service hours.

From 9:00 am to 12:30 pm, our on-site customer service centre and the central SMCT Contact Centre will be closed to allow our team to undertake compulsory safety training.

While the cemetery grounds remain fully open for you to visit your loved ones, please be advised that page-turn requests at the Garden of No Distant Place may be delayed during this time.

Our team will be back to assist you from 12:30 pm. Thank you for your understanding.

You do not have to share your story to find support.

Navigating grief can be overwhelming, and taking the step to seek guidance is often daunting, especially if you are not ready to talk about your personal experience.

In partnership with Grief Australia, we are hosting our free monthly "Navigating Grief" bereavement information session at Springvale Botanical Cemetery.

This session is designed differently. It is an educational environment, not a peer support group. There is absolutely no expectation or pressure to speak. You are warmly invited to simply sit, listen, and take away the insights, practical guidance, and understanding that feel most helpful to you.

Set in a calm and welcoming space, this session will focus on delivering clear, accessible information to help you understand the different aspects of the grieving process.
