About FOCC

 

Friends of Coburg Cemetery is a small group of volunteers who are passionate about this mostly forgotten public cemetery on the border of Preston and Coburg in Melbourne’s north. We run tours, conduct grave searches, publish a newsletter, research people and their stories, monitor birds and wildlife and tell anyone who will listen about this fascinating place.

We are working to promote an ethic of respect for the history of Coburg Cemetery and to promote the preservation, conservation and appreciation of it as a site of local, Victorian and Australian historical significance.

Membership

By becoming a  Friend of Coburg Cemetery you will receive a Buried Treasures newsletter, discounts on activities and financially assist the group. Members undertake research, participate in tours, working bees, meetings, articles for the newsletter and enjoy the fauna and flora and open spaces of Coburg Cemetery.
