Cemetery

This cemetery is closed for new ash and burial plots. Ash interments and body burials can only be made in existing plots.

Please note that New Port Chalmers Cemetery, also located on Church Street, has new ash and burial plots available for purchase.

Ash plots and ash interments can be booked by all customers. Please refer to the burial note below for body burials.

BURIAL NOTE: Due to the legal requirements (Burial and Cremation Act 1964) and the Dunedin City Council's practices and procedures that surround body burials, the Dunedin City Council recommends that all body burials be arranged through a registered funeral director.

In the first instance please contact a funeral director to progress. If you still wish to arrange a private body burial (not through a funeral director) please call our office on 03 454 3751.
