Supporting Fitzroy
Fitzroy was Melbourne’s very first suburb, laid out in 1839, and it still carries that history with pride in its bluestone laneways, Victorian terraces and the creative, almost bohemian energy of Brunswick Street and Gertie’s end of the neighbourhood. It is a tightly woven inner-city community in the City of Yarra, gathered around the Fitzroy Town Hall on Napier Street, the Rose Street markets, St Mark’s Anglican on Gore Street and the long-standing families of the Atherton Gardens estate. Generations have lived their whole lives within these hundred or so hectares, and a farewell here is often deeply tied to the streets and gathering places someone loved.
From our North Melbourne chapel just a short drive away across the inner north, we are here for Fitzroy families, whether you would like a service at our own chapel, at a local church such as St Mark’s, or at one of the many venues around the neighbourhood that meant something to your loved one. Burials are often held at the nearby Melbourne General Cemetery in Carlton. Whatever shape a farewell takes, from a traditional service to a personal celebration of a creative life, we will guide you through it gently, any time of the day or night.
