Supporting Collingwood
Collingwood is one of Melbourne’s oldest and most characterful inner suburbs, a former industrial heartland now full of warehouse conversions, galleries and creative studios, all bounded by Smith Street, Alexandra Parade, Hoddle Street and Victoria Parade in the City of Yarra. Smith Street, once the most important retail strip outside the city centre and more recently named among the coolest streets in the world, remains the spine of the community, while families still gather along the Yarra at the much-loved Collingwood Children’s Farm just over the border in Abbotsford. It is a proud, close, working-class and creative neighbourhood, and a farewell here often reflects a life lived right among these streets.
From our North Melbourne chapel a short drive across the inner north, we are here for Collingwood families, whether you would like a service at our own chapel, at a local church, or at one of the warehouse venues and gathering places around Smith Street that suited the life being remembered. Burials are often held graveside at the nearby Melbourne General Cemetery in Carlton. Whether you picture a traditional service or a personal celebration of an individual life, we will be by your side through every step, any time of the day or night.
