Learn more about Porirua’s cemeteries and heritage
Cemeteries and burial grounds may be peaceful places, but they hold a lot of stories about an area and its people.
When Cemeteries Week starts on 28 October, in line with the Wellington Heritage Festival, there will be the opportunity to learn more about Porirua’s cemeteries, as well as the chance to get a backstage look at our crematorium at Whenua Tapu - all for free.
There will be guided walks around the Pāuatahanui Burial Ground at St Albans Church and Porirua Cemetery on Kenepuru Dr, Whenua Tapu Crematorium will have an open day and cemetery tour, and the Pukerua Heritage Group will give a lively talk about early travellers and residents to the suburb.
