Pyes Pa Memorial Park
Pyes Pa is the main cemetery in the city of Tauranga. It provides cemetery and crematorium services in a parklike setting.
The Pyes Pa Memorial Park Chapel was opened on March 4, 1967, by then Mayor David Mitchell. In 2014 it was upgraded and named the Tui Lounge.
The Granite Soldier and Stone Plaque at Pyes Pa Cemetery in Tauranga are together known as the Veteran Memorial. The memorial was unveiled on Sunday, 20 August 2008, as part of the 90th anniversary of the end of World War I (1914-1918). See: http://tauranga.kete.net.nz/remembering_war/topics/show/2537

New Zealand Cemeteries Team
This page is maintained by the New Zealand Cemeteries Team, who are part of the Global Cemeteries Project (and the Oceania Cemeteries Team). The aim is is to document the final resting place of those buried in New Zealand, to ensure that each cemetery has its own free-space page, which is linked to the category structure for Global Cemeteries, and that those buried in them are also gathered in the correct category.
- Currently there are 46 profiles listed on Wikitree for this cemetery, which is well short of the number of interments. Findagrave has 533 entries, and Billion Graves has 5736.
The overall progress of this endeavour will be found on the NZ Cemeteries Team Progress page.
