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.

At Canvastown, on main Blenheim-Nelson Highway. Turn up Whakamarina Valley beside Hotel. Fifty yards before Deep Creek bridge on left. There is a sign on the gate; follow the path to the cemetery that is surrounded by fir trees. Low growth of bracken but otherwise tidy. A large number of unknown graves and a number of known burials.

Burials were sourced from a photographic website and from a notebook with information concerning old burials gathered from old individuals and relatives in 1938, plus burilas from about that date held by Mr. Harold Hart.

It is a private cemetery, but anyone may be buried there. The trustees were Mr. H Hart and Mr L Rasmussen.

Cemetery is believed to have been opened either 1860 or 1864. This is an early goldrush area, and though there are known burials around the district no one knows who they were of at the time this record was transcribed on April 10, 198, but Mrs. I.M. Alloway.
