Supporting Hillside
Hillside is a young, family-filled community that grew out of the old Sydenham district, its leafy estates carrying names like Parkwood Green, Cypress Rise, Banchory Grove and Bellevue Hill. Day-to-day life here gathers around the Banchory Grove Shopping Centre, the local schools including Cana Catholic Primary, and the shops along the Melton Highway and Wattle Valley Drive. It is a genuinely diverse suburb, home to Maltese, Egyptian, Chilean and Salvadoran families among many others, and we understand that a farewell here often blends faith, culture and the warmth of a close neighbourhood.
Sitting within the City of Melton, Hillside is only a short drive from our Melton chapel opposite the Melton Country Club. From there we are here for Hillside families with services at our own chapel, at a local church such as the Catholic parish serving the area, or at a place that mattered to your loved one. Whether you are planning a burial at a memorial park nearby or a quiet cremation, we walk beside you through every decision, any time you need us.
