Poll: Don't lose the plot - just pay up front
Council is considering a policy to help free up hundreds of graves across the region.
If you wish to book a burial plot you may have to pay up front with the cost of pre-purchasing a burial plot in Fairhall, Omaka, Picton and Tuamarina cemeteries at $1083, plus an additional administration cost to cover the cost of processing the application.
With cheaper options in Havelock and Seddon cemeteries at $741 plus admin costs.
