Rodney District Council Cemeteries

The cemeteries provide an interesting insight into some of Rodney’s history, with burials dating back to the late 1800s. Ornate memorials adorn many of the older graves, offering a chance to browse and be a part of long ago.

There is also a modern, architecturally designed cemetery at Wainui, set in beautiful rural surroundings. It is located close to Silverdale and is ideal for the needs of Hibiscus Coast residents. Wainui has been landscaped to provide a tranquil, contemplative place for those wishing to quietly pay their respects, to grieve in peace, or come to remember their loved ones. The grounds are maintained to a park-like standard with gardens and seating.

All the cemeteries are well maintained, and most have ample room for expansion. If you are looking for the peace and tranquility of a rural setting, then each and every one of the cemeteries offers this vista.

All plots may be reserved for future use, with the exception of the Returned Services sections. A minimal fee is required for the benefit of pre-selecting a plot, with the full plot purchase fee to be paid at time of the first interment.

Traditional burial plots

Burial plots are available adjacent to permanent concrete berms, which have been provided for the placement of plaques or headstones. There is space on the berms for floral and other tributes to also be placed.

Ash plots

Whether the concrete berms are in traditional rows, or surrounding attractively planted gardens, these plots provide a permanent resting place for cremated remains. There is a space on the berms for plaques and floral tributes.

Memorial Wall – Wainui only

As the centrepiece of the cemetery, the Memorial Wall offers a place to memorialise your loved ones with a small plaque. Also within this memorial wall is an area specially for little ones. We have named it 'The Angels That Were'.

Returned Services section

Burial and ash plots are available for Returned Services personnel who have seen war service (as determined by the Office of Veteran Affairs). At Wainui there is also a section for those who have been part of the armed forces, but who do not meet the Office of Veteran Affairs criteria.

Spouses may also be buried in the Returned Services Section. There are specific requirements for memorial plaques and headstones. Details of these are available from the Office of Veteran Affairs, the Rodney District Council, or your funeral director.

General information

The Cemeteries are open to the public, 7 days a week, between the hours of sunrise and sunset. There is parking space outside the gates of each.

A handbook is available and provides general information and requirements for memorials, a scale of fees, application forms and a detailed map of the cemeteries.
