About Us
The Friends of Cheltenham and Regional
Cemeteries Inc. was formed on
9 May 2007 after the amalgamation of the
Brighton General Cemetery Trust with the Cheltenham and Regional
Cemeteries Trust.
On 1 March 2010, the Cheltenham and Regional Cemeteries Trust
was absorbed by Necropolis Springvale to form
the Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries
Trust.
We are a not-for-profit community group comprising a team of dedicated
volunteers who have a passion for the Cheltenham cemeteries.
The Friends of Cheltenham and Regional Cemeteries Inc. is an
incorporated association affiliated with the
Royal
Historical Society of Victoria Inc., the
South Eastern
Historical Association Inc. and the Bayside
Historical Network.
