## Questions, answered briefly

**Where is Wairewa Urupā?**

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

**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 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 is their Green Assets layer (gmCemeteryPlot), names included only where the death is seventy years gone or more.
