MARAREWA CEMETERY GRAVESTONES

I found this previously unknown cemetery early in 2006 and as well as easily finding the Kinzett graves I was after, I also took photos of many of the others pictured here. The cemetery is divided into two parts  separated by a fence and gate. The back half contains just a handful of graves. I have still to find out why they are divided.

The cemetery is not far from Tapawera and is beautifully maintained. If you are after a particular name I suggest you use the "find" option from the "edit" part of your toolbar. These photos are in the order I took them going around the grounds.

I have probably photgraphed a third of them.
