Title: Would there be a headstone or not - Rotorua Cemetery ???
Post by: kentishkiwi on Saturday 07 April 18 17:47 BST (UK)

Hi
Hope the experts can help.
I have been looking for details of my grandparent's burials in Rotorua cemetery and when searching on the cemetery database it comes up with all their details and location in the cemetery but it says no image available. Does this mean there is no headstone. Names are Frederick Howard and Elizabeth Cameron Stevenson.

Many thanks
KK

Likely to mean the headstone was transcribed but not photographed

Hi KK

Yes, there is a headstone (but it appears to be "unphotographed" at this time).
