As cremations are not listed in the Christchurch cemeteries database you could try emailing the Cremation Society

https://my.christchurchcitylibraries.com/family-history/funeral-directors-and-crematoria/

If he was cremated they will be able to tell you who the FD was and contacting them should give you a copy of the death notice,

Cheers Janette

Hi Janette,
Thank you, I am aware of contacting the Cremations Society but for the one I'm requesting I don't think he passed in NZ.
Regards Nanafos

Another alternative is to contact a librarian

As you have the name and date they may be willing to look it up for you

Cheers Janette

Hello Nanafos,

As I have one or two Bowden's in my tree I was interested in the name, but he is not one of mine.
"Memory Tree" cannot help you - they must have has a glitch in their system at the time.
There is a William G Bowden commemorated at the Cenotaph in Auckland - http://www.aucklandmuseum.com/war-memorial/online-cenotaph/record/84825
Perhaps they could help.
Regards
Jean
