Index to the New Zealand Cemetery Database
(please note the URL was changed 16 Nov) -
For a list of council cemetery web sites in each Province, click on the Province on the map to the left (Note: this is NOT the NZ Cemetery Map).
The Provincial pages mainly contain council websites whose databases can be useful in locating a burial if you do not know where it is.
Please Note: These provincial pages do not include the weblinks for the individual cemeteries!
All cemetery web sites that I am aware of, including council databases, are linked from the Database and Map. Go to the map, search for the cemetery you are interested in and click the hyperlink "Click to see Web Links" on the cemetery's pop-up information window.
