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.

Photos

This is a private Cemetery, now closed for burials.
It is administered by the Purakaunui Maori Trust comprised of descendants of the original Maori inhabitants of the area.
This cemetery (Urupa) is situated in the sandhills opposite the Purakaunui township, and is comprised of two parts - the main cemetery and a little to the side, nearer the township, the tapu area where the chiefs are buried.
These cemeteries, unless you are closely related to those interred, need permission to visit.
Respect is overall required.

There have been many burials here over generations but the location and the names of those interred are not known other than a few of the more recent and a few names from earlier times but not the location of the grave. Their burial places of those which have the few remaining headstones have been numbered for convenience and are shown on the plan.
