Columbarium WallAt the time of its inception, the Columbarium Wall was highly regarded as a very modern option for the interment of cremated remains. In more recent times it has become apparent that, for a number of reasons, the Columbarium no longer fell within the design parameters that it was created to achieve.
The general deterioration, despite our attempts at ongoing maintenance, and the aging of the structures, the lack of visitor parking and seating, in addition to our own operational issues, The Mangere Lawn Cemetery Trust Board initiated a program to address the concerns we faced. The program involved the transfer of the existing ash interments and associated plaques to the new Columbarium or to the Mountain View Ash Gardens. All costs in relation to the transferring of the ashes and plaque, which include the replication of the existing inscription onto a new granite plaque in some cases were met by the Trust Board. We completed our project in April 2021. If you know of or have relatives whose ashes were interred in the Columbarium Wall, please do contact us by email, the contact form on our website or by phoning us on 09 275-4822 For a list of interments in the Columbarium Wall, please click here |
Reinstatement of Burial Sites
From time to time it is necessary for us to top up uneven burial sites (this work is additional to levelling and regrassing new burials).
We use soil and/or lawn mix and if the area is large we also re-grass it. When we are doing a large amount of levelling in a specific area of the cemetery, we will have signage displayed. If at any time you have questions about our reinstatement work, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our current area for reinstatement is: Kirkbride Road Cemetery |
