HISTORYMornington Cemetery is located in Craigie Road Mt. Martha on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula. It was surveyed by Mr. H. Permein the Government Surveyor in 1855, and was originally called the Mt. Martha Cemetery, then the Moorooduc Cemetery.
In 1891 when trusteeship was transferred to the Shire of Mornington the cemetery name was changed to Mornington Cemetery. The cemetery was divided into religious denominations. They were Church of England, historical Church of England, Roman Catholic, Old Presbyterian, Presbyterian, Non Denominational, and Methodist.
