NZ Cemeteries Collection
Since 1967 The New Zealand Society of Genealogists has produced cemetery
transcriptions for approx. 1400 cemeteries nationwide. Dates range
between 1812 through to 2017. Most municipal cemeteries are included,
but a significant proportion of this collection includes private
cemeteries, Maori Urupa and remote burial locations.
The full NZ Cemeteries Collection is held at the NZSG Library; for details on what is available, search the Library Catalogue.
Transcriptions
between 1812 – 2007 are available either on microfiche at most public
libraries or in digital format on Ancestry.com.
See what microfiche are available at 2009 - The New Zealand Cemetery Records.
Most Local Authority websites have an online searchable database.
NZSG Burial Locator
This
publication is a directory containing over 3 million names taken from
many sources including the NZSG Cemetery Collection where the source
reference corresponds with the referencing system used by the NZSG in
the New Zealand Cemetery Records – a List of Holdings; and from many
local Council Burial records which are not in the NZSG Cemetery
Collection. It is available to search in the NZSG Library in Panmure
and some public libraries.
Kiwi Collection v2
This name-searchable index is primarily available to members only. It includes
names from various cemeteries (many of which are on the NZSG Burial
Locator) but there is also a small number of full headstone
transcriptions. The notes under Access to Source will indicate whether
the full transcription records are available at a local repository
