Geelong Cemeteries Trust is proud to serve as an integral part of the Greater Geelong community, honouring past, present, and future generations.
We care for 22 locations across the Greater Geelong, Bellarine Peninsula, Surf Coast, Colac Otway and Macedon Ranges regions, preserving their natural beauty and creating places of reflection and remembrance.
Since being established, we have grown alongside our communities, building new facilities and expanding our services to meet ever-evolving and diverse needs.
The role of Geelong Cemeteries Trust extends far beyond providing burial, cremation and memorialisation services. Our cemeteries and memorial parks are places for connection, community and celebrations of life. We preserve history, promote sustainability, and importantly, help our communities feel prepared and supported in planning for the future.
Planning ahead can be difficult, but provides peace of mind, ensuring your final wishes are fulfilled, and saves your family from the burden of making decisions for you. Research reveals while nearly nine out of ten Australians agree that planning ahead is important, only a third actually do it. Many simply don’t know where to start or understand the choices available.
Start with a conversation. Whether it’s over a relaxed coffee, during a quiet walk, or in a comfortable space, starting this conversation with your family can begin with a simple question or statement to gently introduce the topic. Consider starting with something such as “I know it can be difficult to talk about, but it’s really important to me…”
There are a number of conversation starters available on our website to assist in starting the conversation, or you can continue this conversation with our team.
Visit our website at gct.net.au/plan-ahead, or call (03) 5249 3939.
When you’re ready, we’re here to help.
