Springvale Botanical Cemetery
- Springvale Botanical Cemetery
The Springvale Botanical Cemetery is the largest crematorium and memorial park in Victoria, Australia. It is located in Springvale, in the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Until 2006, it operated as The Necropolis Springvale.
The Necropolis commenced operations in 1901. Between 1904 and 1952 it was served by its own railway station and line to transport coffins, passengers and staff to the cemetery. The Trustees of the cemetery also administer Dandenong Cemetery, St Kilda Cemetery and Melbourne General Cemetery. In 2007 Springvale conducted over 2000 burials and 6000 cremations.
