What’s on the register near Papanui Cemetery?

3 listed places within 300m, each opens its own record from this page.

The record behind this

The ground is OpenStreetMap’s, a named node or way tagged landuse=cemetery inside the city boundary (ODbL). The ground is the map’s; the graves are the council’s, the register of plots above is their Green Assets layer (gmCemeteryPlot), names included only where the death is seventy years gone or more.
