Supporting Melton
Melton is a community on the move, the heart of the City of Melton and one of the most multicultural parts of the west, with around 130 nationalities represented and growing families from India, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malta and many First Nations households calling it home. Daily life centres on High Street and the Central Walk shopping precinct, with the Melton Botanic Garden, the heritage Mechanics’ Institute and the old Melton Court House all telling the story of a town that has grown from sheep runs and gold rush traffic into a modern city. We understand that a farewell here often brings together faith, culture and a strong sense of local belonging.
Our chapel at 29 Reserve Road sits opposite the Melton Country Club, with seating for 210, standing room for another 200 and plenty of on-site parking, so the whole community can gather comfortably. Kerry Milligan, who has lived in Melton for over twenty years, knows this town and its families well. Many local families turn to Melton Public Cemetery, serving the community since 1861, when planning a burial or memorial, and we are glad to guide you through every option without rushing you. Whatever a farewell looks like for your family, we are here for you, any time of the day or night.
