Karori Cemetery

Karori Cemetery is New Zealand's second largest burial ground, covering nearly 40 hectares. It was the final resting place of about 80,000 people.

The cemetery was established in 1891 to replace the overcrowded Bolton Street Cemetery. The Cemetery filled quickly and by the 1950s had nearly reached maximum capacity.

Karori Cemetery's crematorium is the oldest in Australasia. It opened in 1909, and was New Zealand's first crematorium. It carries out about 450 cremations a year.
