Supporting Fawkner
Fawkner is one of Melbourne’s most richly multicultural suburbs, shaped by a large and long-standing Italian community alongside strong Turkish, Pakistani, Lebanese and Indian families. You see that warmth in the busy little shopping strip along Bonwick Street and Jukes Road, famous for its Italian food, and you feel the community spirit at CB Smith Reserve, home to the Fawkner Library, swimming pools and sporting fields, with the Merri Creek tracing the suburb’s eastern edge.
Fawkner is also home to the historic Fawkner Memorial Park, one of Australia’s largest cemeteries, established in 1906 and a resting place for generations of northern Melbourne families, with its grand mausolea, Muslim chapel and beautiful gardens. Many local families have loved ones laid to rest there, and from our North Melbourne chapel a short drive south, we can arrange a service, transfer and graveside or chapel farewell at Fawkner Memorial Park or anywhere that holds meaning for you. Whatever your family needs, we are here for you, any time of the day or night.
