About this venue

Blair Chapel is one of the most intimate of the five farewell spaces at Springvale Botanical Cemetery — grounds so loved they're often called the most beautiful cemetery in Australia. The room holds you gently: a dark timber ceiling, soft light, and floor-to-ceiling glass along one side looking into a lush courtyard, so the garden feels like part of the service. It seats up to 66 guests for a funeral or memorial service, with a screen for photo and video tributes, microphones and live streaming built in, so anyone who can't travel can still be part of the day. A private cremation or graveside burial can follow within the same grounds, and the cemetery's function rooms are a short distance away for refreshments afterwards.

Springvale is a large, garden-filled cemetery, so it helps to know the way. Come in from Princes Highway and simply follow the blue line painted on the cemetery's internal roads — it leads straight to the chapels. Free parking is available beside the reception building and directly across from the chapels, and our team will be there to greet your guests and show them the way.
Springvale has five farewell spaces, and they each have their own character. Blair and its twin, Wilson, are the intimate garden chapels — warm timber rooms looking onto green courtyards. Renowden and Boyd are the traditional chapels, Boyd being the largest, and The Atrium offers something different again. If you're unsure which would suit your family, we'll help you choose — and we're happy to walk you through any of them.
Yes, Blair Chapel is climate-controlled year-round, so the room stays comfortable in every season — and the courtyard views come rain or shine.
