A gentle reminder to secure today’s rates before 30 June

We know that thinking about the future can be difficult, but taking the step to plan ahead is one of the most practical and thoughtful gifts you can leave for your family.

If you have been considering pre-planning a memorial space or arrangement at one of our sites, we want to let you know that our current prices are locked in until 30 June 2026.

From 1 July 2026, a government-regulated price update of 3.1% will take effect across all Victorian cemetery trusts in line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

By completing your pre-planning arrangements this month, you can finalise your choices at our lower rates. More importantly, pre-planning locks in the cost of your selected products and services forever, completely protecting your family from any future cost increases.

Whether you are looking at arrangements for yourself or a loved one, our team is available to help you navigate these updates and understand exactly what they mean for you.

Our Sales and Contact Centre teams are here to guide you with care and clarity at every step of the way. Book an obligation-free appointment with us today to discuss your plans.

🖤💛❤️ Recently, we were honoured to host Bunurong Elder Uncle Shane and proud Bunurong man James Brown to conduct a Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony on site at St Kilda Cemetery to officially mark our healing of Country together through Project Cultivate.

SMCT CEO Ingrid Harvey said Project Cultivate was a nation-building program creating a legacy of care and connection.

“Together we are creating a thriving, respectful place for community to honour their loved ones, acknowledge our shared histories, and explore the possibilities for a more sustainable future.”

We thank community members, partners and colleagues for their support. Community planting days will soon be available for visitors to register and get involved.

Join the City Nature Challenge 25-28 April 2026 🐝🌱🌸
The City Nature Challenge is a worldwide initiative to gather observations of wild plants and animals.
This year, we encourage you to explore our beautiful sites, and log it as part of the local council area. 📷 Snap a photo of a plant or animal, or record a call, and upload it to iNaturalist between 25 - 28 April 2026.
Your observations are automatically added to the project, and will help your local council (and SMCT!) understand who and what is growing in our urban spaces.
