Completed Waikumete Cemetery
« on: Wednesday 30 May 07 13:51 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for confirmation on the burials of George Montgomery, Died approx 22 July, 1943, AKL and his wife Mary Montgomery/Bett, Died 1927, AKL. Both are apparently buried at Waikumete but on line resources are sketchy. I've tried NZ cemeteries and having a frustrating time trying to navigate Waikumete cemetery site.  Any suggestions to advance my inquiry who be appreciated.
Thanx.

Hi Lil,

I have just checked the cemetery on-line and there is a headstone on the grave.

They are buried at PRESBYTERIAN DIVISION D Row 13, BETWEEN Plot 13-15

I am at the library tomorrow so can check and see what the cemetery fiche says for the heastone if you like.
