About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

46km from Invercargill on the Southern Scenic Route.

The earliest European cemetery in the area with the first burial recorded in 1873. Fortrose was first established as a whaling station in 1834 and one of the early whalers and first white settler, James Wybrow, was buried here in 1878. Also located here is a memorial and some of the graves of the 131 passengers who lost their lives in the SS Tararua shipwreck in 1881 at Waipapa point - NZ's worst civilian maritime disaster. Other passengers graves are located at Tararua Acre Cemetery about 300m of the road to Waipapa point.
