We walked the whole street and was very impressed with the marble eagle on the Nola crypt

Our family are still none the wiser as to who rests in the Lovich crypt.
Yes we would all like to know, as we are all drawn to this place!
I have one more lead to follow up -
one of my Grandfather's cousins children that Natalie has given me the contact for.

Thanks Janette - Joseph Douglas Lovich does have a burial plot and a row number, it's just not showing yet. 
But thanks to you I guess - I contacted a person from his Lovich family that we have never been able to find a connection to.  For the first time she mentioned one document she had with the same Croatian name as our family.  While talking to her, I casually searched that name on Geni.com and found all of our ancestor names and hers there too under Anticic Lovic!! I messaged the tree owner who then sent me photos of birth entries in ancient books that she has access to.  She then merged our trees on Geni and now we have all of our Croatian family history that is on record !!!!!  I could immediately find the connection that we had been looking for re Joseph Douglas Lovich's family..... our Gt Gt Grandfather's were brothers! The miracle of modern technology .... I've been doing some dancing with the ancestors these past few days  ;D

Still don't know who belongs to the mausoleum though.... but it has led us to what we have now!

Do you have copy of this that you can email to me cheers

UPDATE:
My brother noticed the other day that someone had been added to the Lovich Mausoleum so I checked out the Herald Death Notices and found Ivka Lovich the wife of Luka Lovich  had died recently .... checked out the Waikumete Cemetery Records and found her interred in a Mausoleum!!!
Yes Luka was one of our Grandfather's 'cousins' Geni.com confirmed.  I still have some work to do to find out about these 'cousins' and have a plan of action to follow, as their kiwi first names are quite different to their birth names :)
