All Souls Mausoleum - Update
- 2 November 2022

About
All Souls mausoleum, Springvale Botanical Cemetery's latest precinct release
Nestled on the expansive lawns of Springvale Botanical Cemetery’s south-eastern corner, All Souls promises to deliver a contemporary interpretation of a mausoleum.
This serene, light-filled space will blend its distinctly modern sensibilities with traditional cultural references – from ornate terrazzo tiling to a peaceful courtyard garden inspired by the Garden of Gethsemane.
Construction for the mausoleum is now underway, in partnership with 2Construct Pty LtdExternal site, using a curated selection of premium materials. An expansive piece of Harcourt granite will represent the Agony Rock in the mausoleum’s garden, while marble and bluestone will adorn the floor in ornate mosaic patterns.
Progress updates and gallery

The building of the roof lantern steel frame is underway. This beautiful design for the skylight is based on the concept of a campanile (bell tower) which provides a connection of sense and importance to the floor below and allows for a subtle lighting effect of filtered light to be introduced into the space.

Reinforcing the connection to the Garden of Gethsemane, a commissioned artwork of stacked stones representing an olive amphora now complements the large ancient olive tree and Harcourt granite rock installation.

We are looking forward to sharing more updates on this project shortly. If you want further information or to speak with one of our customer care consultants, please call 1300 466 904.
