Supporting Heidelberg
Heidelberg is one of Melbourne’s oldest and most storied communities, settled in the late 1830s and later famous as the home of the Heidelberg School of artists, with Tom Roberts, Arthur Streeton and Frederick McCubbin drawn to its leafy rises above the Yarra. You still feel that long history along Burgundy Street and Lower Heidelberg Road, around landmarks like the heritage St John’s Anglican Church and the gracious tree-lined streets that wind down toward the river. It is a settled, family-minded suburb with a strong sense of continuity, and we understand that many farewells here carry generations of local memory.
From our North Melbourne chapel a short drive away, we support Heidelberg families with services at our own chapel, at a local parish church, or graveside at the historic Warringal Cemetery, where some of Victoria’s oldest graves rest and which still serves Banyule families today. Whatever a fitting farewell looks like for your family, we are here for you, any time of the day or night.
