Operational cemeteries
Although there are a number of operational cemeteries in the district, we are responsible only for those at Maunu, Onerahi and Kamo.
They are open to the public seven days a week, 52 weeks a year.
Burials and cremations take place at the Maunu cemetery six days a week.
Our cemeteries are maintained to a high standard and we ask for your help to maintain these standards by observing the following requests:
- please, no glass - including vases, jars, beer bottles and glass flowers/ornaments. Glass is easily broken causing a health and safety hazard to visitors and staff
- please, no foodstuffs - food encourages rats, rabbits and other vermin
- please, no planting without written permission from the Cemetery Manager
- please, no dogs - except guidedogs
- please, no vehicles - between dusk and dawn.
