Is there a map for the Papakura Cemetery?

Hi pauashell,

Just had a thought, sometimes the groundsmen are there, in the Sexton's shed they have maps of the layout of the cemetery.  That is from the Opaheke Road side entrance.

Cheers

I found what I was looking for today after wandering around at the wrong end for some time.  There is a map showing the areas by religion on a workmen's shed there.
I want to share it as it certainly helped me.

I have just tried to find three at the Papakura Cemetery.

It took me approx 45 mins and didn't even cover half of it.

I only found 1 plaque and RSA part which is reasonably easy. It is unfortunate that they don't have Row numbers at the end of rows make searching a lot easier.

But you would not be able to walk around some of it with a walker or wheelchair.

 I will check with the council and get back to you.  I see there is also a phone number, that I could ring.  are they in the southern or the other?

I have taken a photo of map will put on here ASAP.

Very hard to follow as would be good to hsve row numbers end of each row

Hope this is helpful.  Rita James
