The Box Hill Cemetery is a cemetery located in Box Hill, an eastern suburb of Melbourne, in Victoria, Australia. The 12.5-hectare (31-acre) site is known as the resting place of notable figures from Melbourne. The original 4.0-hectare (10-acre) site was extended in 1886 and again in 1935. Approximately 50,000 decedents were interred since the cemetery was gazetted and commenced operations in 1873. Located within the cemetery are a columbarium and memorial to the Myer family that were added to the Victorian Heritage Register on 9 October 2003 in recognition of its historical, aesthetic, social and architectural significance. The site was also added by the Victorian branch of the National Trust to a non-statutory heritage list on 17 October 1997.
