Supporting Craigieburn
Craigieburn has grown into one of Melbourne’s largest and most multicultural northern suburbs, a place of young families and new beginnings about 25 kilometres from the city in the City of Hume. Daily life here gathers around Craigieburn Central on Aitken Boulevard, the walking trails and waterside cafe at Highlands Lake, and the green ribbons of the Aitken and Malcolm Creek reserves. It is a community rich with Indian, Iraqi and Sri Lankan families, with strong Catholic, Muslim and many other faith traditions, and we understand that a farewell here often carries cultural and religious meaning that must be honoured carefully.
From our North Melbourne chapel at the southern end of the Hume corridor, we are here for families right across Craigieburn, whether you would like a service at our own chapel, at a local church or mosque, or graveside at Northern Memorial Park in Glenroy or the broader Fawkner grounds nearby. Whatever a farewell looks like for your family, and whatever the hour, we will guide you gently through every step.
