Rotorua Cemetery

Rotorua Public Cemetery is located in Sala Street in Rotorua. This cemetery has some historic burials. It was used for burials in the 1800's. Some of the victims of the Tarawera eruption of 1886 are buried here. There were also some interments transferred to this cemetery from an older burial ground that was on the eastern side of Sala Street.

There is a Crematorium on site, which opened in 1963. There is some shelter, and the cemetery is all on flat land. By the Crematorium there are Memorial gardens and walls. The cemetery is considered full, with only a few pre-sold RSA plots and children's plots available. A proposed new cemetery, adjacent to the Lakeview Golf Club, has been proposed but has yet to be developed.

Notable Burials

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.

  • For a list of Interments in alphabetical and table format please see the attached page (yet to be commenced).
  • Currently there are 195 profiles listed on Wikitree for this cemetery, which is well short of the number of interments. Findagrave has 12,855 entries, and BillionGraves has 3824. Irwin-2099, 5 October 2024

The overall progress of this endeavour will be found on the NZ Cemeteries Team Progress page.
