As part of responsible governance, Necropolis recognises its obligation to its client families and the community to preserve the cemetery – in perpetuity.  That is a long time!

To ensure that funds are available in the future to maintain the cemeteries entrusted to its care, Necropolis proactively sets funds aside out of each sale.  At the end of September 2009 Necropolis investments exceeded $125 million.

Actuarial studies have been completed to ensure that a suitable approach is taken to setting funding targets.

The trust is not legally obliged to set these funds aside but accepts that it has a social obligation to the community it serves.
