<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Boroondara General Cemetery''', also known as '''Kew Cemetery''' and '''Boroondara Cemetery''', is a burial ground located in the suburb of [[Kew]]. It remains the only cemetery within the [[City of Boroondara]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Land was reserved for a cemetery in 1855. The facilities were constructed in 1858 with Ellen Quick being the first person to be buried in its grounds.<ref name="BoroondaraCemeteryHistory">Boroondara General Cemetery. ''History''. 2023. https://boroondaracemetery.com.au/history/, accessed: 1 July 2023</ref><br />
<br />
With construction of the cable tram from the city and along Victoria Street to the [[wikipedia:Yarra River|Yarra River]] in 1886, a horse tram connecting Kew Cemetery to the cable tram terminus was built and opened in 1887.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20110220040626/http://www.tramway.org.au/runningjournal/rj_vol9_no3.pdf Melbourne Tramway & Omnibus Company Limited] ''[[Running Journal]]'' volume 9 no 3 page 16</ref> This became an attraction in its own right due to the opulence of some of the graves - in particular the [[Springthorpe Memorial]] which stands to this day.<br />
<br />
Many expansions and additions to the cemetery were built as Boroondara rapidly expanded. This has included rose gardens, service buildings and a mausoleum.<ref name="BoroondaraCemeteryHistory" /><br />
