Wellington (Karori) Cemetery

(1 casualty)

Wellington (Karori) Cemetery will be found on Karori Road, in the north-western part of Wellington. There are separate 1914-1918 and 1939-1945 services' areas within the public cemetery. (S) at the end of the grave location denotes these. Within the cemetery is the Wellington Provincial Memorial, which takes the form of a marble archway connecting the original Services' Cemetery with the extension which was laid out later. This memorial commemorates servicepeople from the Wellington Military District who died in the 1914-1918 and 1939-1945 Wars and who have no known grave. Also in the cemetery is the Wellington (Karori) Crematorium. The names of 15 casualties from the 1939-1945 War, whose remains were cremated and the ashes scattered, are engraved on a plaque set into the Servicemen's Columbarium Wall in the services' section of the cemetery.
