Melbourne Weather Causing Issues at Cemetery

Please take care when visiting the cemetery. Safety is our number one concern. 

This year Victoria has been experiencing above-average rainfall. As such it has been extremely difficult to maintain our cemetery grounds to the standards you expect. The rain and unpredictability affect our gardening program, our monument footing schedule, and all aspects of our cemetery management.

Please recognise that we are doing our best to ensure the important work we do for the community continues as quickly and smoothly as possible. Some areas of the cemetery may be more affected than others and some areas may simply be inaccessible. 

Thank you for your understanding as we work together with mother nature to ensure our cemetery looks cared for. 

MCK Office: The MCK office in St Kilda is OPEN.  

Office hours are Monday - Thursday from 9.00am to 5.00pm & Friday 9.00am to 2.00pm (closed on public holidays).  

Cemetery Open Times:

Sunday - Friday: 8:00am to 4:45pm. Closed Shabbat and Yom Tov. Open Public Holidays.

Please use the "Book Consecration" button on the Consecration page to request a Consecration booking. 

Please Note: The Consecration booking is a request only, and dates and times are not confirmed until MCK provides a confirmed reservation

It is customary that no consecrations are held on Rosh Chodesh or during the Hebrew month of Nissan.
