Box Hill Cemetery

Box Hill Cemetery is a cemetery located in Box Hill, Victoria in Australia. It is known as the resting place of notable figures from Melbourne and its heritage-registered Columbarium and Myer Memorial.[1][2] The cemetery dates back to its gazettal in 1873 and has had three expansions; the first two in the Victorian era and a final enlargement in 1935.[2]

The Myer memorial was designed by British architect Edwin Lutyens in association with local architects Yuncken, Freeman, Freeman & Griffiths.[2] The columbarian, a brick building in the style of a Byzantine church was designed by architects Rodney Alsop and A. Bramwell Smith and constructed in 1929.[2]
