About this venue

Some farewells belong in a church. The Resurrection of Saint Lazarus Greek Orthodox Church was built within Bunurong Memorial Park by the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia and opened in 2012 — a traditional brick church with a tiled dome and arched portico, standing among lawns and memorial gardens in Dandenong South. Its dedication carries deep meaning for Orthodox families: Lazarus, whom Christ raised, is the Church's living promise that death is not the end. The church seats around 80 guests for a funeral service held fully in the Orthodox tradition, and we coordinate every detail with the parish priest and the cemetery on your behalf — from the service itself, to the burial that traditionally follows within the same grounds, to the gathering afterwards in the function rooms a short walk away.
