## Questions, answered briefly

**What kind of cemetery is Kaituna Valley Cemetery?**

The map tags it christian, a mapper’s tag, not the council’s register.

**Does this page list who is buried there?**

Partly, the council’s register files 102 plots in this ground, and burials seventy years gone or older can be found by surname on this page. Newer burials are counted but never named here; the council’s own cemetery search holds the whole register.
