About Tooram Memorial Park In 2014, 22.65 Ha of land at 582 Hopkins Point Road was identified as the preferred site for the new Warrnambool cemetery. Later the following year approval for the purchase of the land was granted and later named "Tooram Memorial Park" by the Warrnambool Cemetery Trust. Tooram Memorial Park was named due to the believed historical significance of the 'Tooram' name. 'The Tooram' initially spelt 'Tuuram', was a tribe or horde of Aboriginals living around Warrnambool. James Dawson in 1881 recorded the Aboriginal place-name as 'Tuuram', meaning 'The tidal estuary of the River Hopkins'. The Vision It is the vision of the Warrnambool Cemetery Trust to develop Tooram Memorial Park as a significant and valued asset with spectacular parklands and gardens that will sensitively complement a variety of opportunities for family members to honour and celebrate the lives of their loved ones, irrespective of religion, culture and personal preferences. Tooram Memorial Park (TMP) was officially opened on Tuesday 30 March 2021 and became Warrnambool’s second cemetery. The land located at 582 Hopkins Point Road, Allansford was purchased in 2014 after it was recognised that the Warrnambool Cemetery would reach capacity in the near future.
