About
On 24 October 1890, William Hillier, Earl of Onslow, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, stated that approximately 15 acres in the westernmost part of the village of Mangere be set aside for a cemetery reserve. The first burial at the cemetery was of Mrs Louisa Oxenham and took place on 4 November 1894.
From 1894 until 1928 the area now known as “North” was the only section used, with burials originally set out by denomination.The cemetery continued to expand south towards the corner of McKenzie & Kirkbride Roads.
In the 1980s, development moved west on land previously acquired. The chapel & lounge were built, as was the crematorium. The first cremation took place in April 1992.
