**Where is Memorial Park Cemetery?**

In Bromley, Christchurch, the map draws its grounds as an outline, inside the city boundary.

**What kind of cemetery is Memorial Park Cemetery?**

The map tags it none, a mapper’s tag, not the council’s register.

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

Partly, the council’s register files 12,809 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.
