Located on Alexandra Redoubt Road, Tuakau Cemetery has long served the community as a place to honour and remember loved ones and remains an important part of the town's history.
However, after many years of service, all available burial plots at the cemetery have now been allocated, meaning there are no new plots available for purchase.
People who have already reserved plot or wish to be interred with a family member already at Tuakau Cemetery can continue to be used.
For families needing a new burial plot, future interments will take place at Whangarata Urupaa|Cemetery, which has capacity to meet the community's ongoing needs.
“Reaching capacity is a natural stage in the life of a cemetery,” said Cemeteries Officer Deidre MacDonald.
“As the community continues to grow, Whangarata Urupaa | Cemetery will provide space for future burials, ensuring residents continue to have access to local burial services for generations to come.”
