Shepparton Update

Member for Shepparton, Jeanette Powell officially opened the Shepparton Public Cemetery Mausoleam at the Cemetery on Rudd Road, Shepparton today.



Mrs Powell congratulated the nine Shepparton Public Cemetery Trust members for their efforts in bringing the project to fruition.

She also acknowledged Emilio Fiorenza and Frank Mammone for their input and work with the Cemetery Trust on behalf of the Italian Community in the establishment of the Mausoleum.

“This is a first for the Shepparton district and was a vision that took years to complete,” Mrs Powell said.

“This project was completed thanks to the generosity and fundraising of the Trustees and the community.”

The Mausoleum was blessed by Mons Peter Jeffery and Father Michael Grace following the opening ceremony.

There are 48 Crypts in the first stage of the Mausoleum, 18 of which are still available to purchase by members of the community.
