Cemetery Database
Great News!
Napier, Hastings and Central Hawke's Bay Councils provide online databases that you can use to search records for people who are buried or interred within the cemeteries.
If you can not find the information you seek, you can email or phone the Cemetery Manager/Sexton at the cemetery, and they will be able to assist you. Ring your local Council who will put you through.
Thanks to the staff who work hard to ensure our cemeteries and crematorium are always well cared for. You do an excellent job.
The local Councils do their best to provide correct information. If any information you think is incorrect, please send the cemetery manager/sexton the accurate data with supporting documents if you have them.
Here are the links to go to the Databases.
