Rapaki Cemetery

A cemetery of the city, the ground as the open map draws it.

Where it lies

The grounds as OpenStreetMap outlines them, a mapper’s draw, not the surveyed title. The strong outline is the suburb.

Questions, answered briefly

Does this page list who is buried there?

No, the map records the ground, not the graves. Burial records live with the council’s cemetery search and the headstone transcriptions, both linked from the 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.
