Supporting Altona
Altona has a character all of its own, a relaxed bayside village in the City of Hobsons Bay built around Pier Street and the long sweep of Altona Beach. Families here gather for a coffee along the shopping strip, walk the foreshore promenade, and spend weekends around Cherry Lake, the Altona Coastal Park and the historic Altona Homestead. It is a tight-knit community with strong local pride, and we understand that an Altona farewell is often shaped by that same sense of belonging, held close to the bay the family loves, in a setting of quiet peace.
We support Altona families from our Melton chapel a short drive away, and we also work with trusted venues nearer the coast, including chapels in the Altona area that we do not own but know well. Many local families turn to Altona Memorial Park, with its landscaped lawns and garden settings, when planning a burial or memorial, and we are glad to guide you through every option calmly and without pressure. Whatever a farewell looks like for your family, we are here for you, any time of the day or night.
