Non-Council Administered Cemeteries

There are many cemeteries throughout Kaipara that are not administered by the Kaipara District Council. These are often run by local community committees, trusts or marae and provide a vital service to our smaller and remote rural communities. If you wish to arrange for a burial or request burial records from these non-Council administered cemeteries, you will need to contact the respective committee, trust or marae directly.
