Cemeteries
There is a range of services and facilities for burials and memorials in the Far North. Public cemeteries are managed either by the Far North District Council or by a community committee. There are also graveyards adjacent to churches, iwi urupa and private burial grounds within the district. Customers should contact the church or iwi direct if the graveyard is not listed on this website.

For any applications for burials, please complete either one of the following two forms:
