Our Organisation

The Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust (SMCT) is a community based, not-for-profit organisation, committed to serving the needs of our communities.

Over and above the funeral services we provide, we are committed to guiding families through the most important, long term decisions they will need to make when someone dies.
