(I am flying blind, it might be the other way around, but you know what I mean). I have found cemeteries on private land and in a recreation reserve, but this in rare. In my local area there are no churchyard cemeteries - I don't actually know of any in Victoria, but there may be some further away from me. In the past a number of Councils acted as the Cemetery Trust, but were still answerable to the state Health Dept Cemeteries Section. So yes, they are probably 90% at least state crown land in Victoria Cheers Linda
