Donations
Over the years, our Cemetery has been the beneficiary of many generous gifts which have been used for the general upkeep and beautification of the site. As a result of this generosity, special projects such as the acquisition of additional property, the erection of new fencing and gates, the development of the Memorial Gardens, the placement of permanent park benches, the restoration of antique headstones and the planting of additional trees have all become reality. Without such generosity, none of these special projects would have been possible.
To facilitate the donation process and to enhance the long term financial health of the Pakenham Union Cemetery, the Pakenham Union Cemetery Board of Trustees has approved the following policy:
