Karori Cemetery Registers
Launched in December 2019, this database contains over 40,000 entries. Of particular interest to genealogists are the first four burial registers for Karori Cemetery in Wellington. To find these, search using ‘karori burial register’ (omitting the quotation marks) then scroll though until you find a photo of the register, click on the image to open. To find a specific entry the date of interment is required. This can be found using Wellington City Council’s online cemetery search.
Register entries include name, address, age and occupation.
