Cemeteries

Talk to the cemetery’s sexton, find a local funeral director or stonemason and learn about our upcoming online burial database.

There are two active cemeteries in Lower Hutt: Taita Cemetery and the Wainuiomata Garden of Remembrance.

There are a number of options and specifications for plaques and headstones, and you’ll need to follow these when decorating a plot. You’ll also need to apply for a permit to erect a headstone or plaque.

Plots are secured consecutively only in Wainuiomata Garden of Remembrance and can’t be pre-purchased in any of our cemeteries.

Find all fees and charges for the various burial and memorial options available.

Fees and charges include Goods and Services Tax (GST) and are effective from 1 July 2012.
