Along with the heritage listed GateHouse, there are 43 hectares (106 acres) of manicured gardens, providing seasonal colour against a Melbourne city backdrop.

There are over 30, 1914-18 war and over 50, 1939-45 war casualties commemorated in this cemetery. The graves are to be found in many different parts of the cemetery.
