Supporting Abbotsford
Abbotsford is one of inner Melbourne’s most characterful pockets, tucked into the bend of the Yarra River just a couple of kilometres from the city. It carries a deep working-class and Irish heritage from its old factory days, and that history still shows in the warehouse conversions, the leafy riverside paths, and gentle landmarks like the Abbotsford Convent and the Collingwood Children’s Farm. It is a tight community where neighbours know one another, sitting close to Collingwood, Richmond and Clifton Hill.
From our North Melbourne chapel, only a short drive away, we support Abbotsford families with services at our own chapel, at local parishes, or at a place that held real meaning for your loved one. Many families here choose nearby resting places such as the Melbourne General Cemetery or a memorial park a little further out, and we will guide you gently through every option. Whatever a farewell looks like for your family, we are here for you, any time of the day or night.
