I figured out that my pics were too big - so have reduced them.
Here is the full view of the Norcross mausoleum

I saw your profile on facebook nick ..... and I went all shy 
Anyway back to the mausoleums.
Went to a great family get together yesterday, which wasn't a funeral or a wedding YAY!
Before going to this my daughter and I went to check out the mausoleum suburb of Waikumete.
They weren't hard to find and we were just awe struck!
The road they were on was like Queen Street, endless cars coming and going, to and from somewhere?
We walked the whole street, trying to work out how these things worked.
Some of the crypts had names and some didn't.
Some had doors with locks ..... some didn't?
Most of the names were Dallie sounding and the majority ended in ich or ic.
We came upon one that is nearly finished being built, which was the size of a small house ....
NORCROSS was the proud name inscribed across the top. I had to take pics.. as it had an atrium and two separate resting places..... I'm having trouble loading pics - so will load one and carry on

Yes I am on Facebook Nikolai.
My Gt Grandmother's maiden name was Simic.
I guess I will have to do some searching on there now.
Thank you for your helpful hints.
Cheers Ev.

Thank you so much Janette!
Nikolai implied that it may be empty.....
How odd though as it looks freshly painted
I will have to do some research on mausoleums.

Oh yes please Nikolai -
I would be most interested to see the Igrane crypt.
Any ideas on who rests there?
Can you put a photo on here?
I don't have any known connections in Tauranga -
so you may have to help me out with that??
And yes please Janette
As I'm sure they will be related - if we ever find out who it belongs to.

Luka and my Grandfather were second cousins Nikolai - their fathers Mate and Barisa were cousins.
Definitely a connection though as our Gt Gt Grandfathers were brothers!!!!
I only know of the connection thanks to this mausoleum thread!
How nice to meet up with a distant relative on rootschat
Several family members have been to Igrane and say how beautiful it is there -
and how they were made welcome by warm and loving extended family.
Do you know who rests in the Lovich Mausoleum at Waikumete Cemetery Nikolai?

I think Luka Lovich is related to Joseph Douglas Lovich, Nikolai.
Three cousins came to NZ soon after my Grandfather and his brother.....
the cousins parents were Mate and Mare Anticic Lovic I believe.
I must find out more as I only have the three names from an Aunt who is now sleeping with the angels.
