Community Cemeteries
We manage 14 cemeteries within the Thames-Coromandel District. Eight are currently open for burials, while six are no longer operational.
Most cemeteries operating in the Thames-Coromandel District cater for lawn plot burials. This means that you must not plant vegetation or place structures, borders or any items on the plot itself.
Each community within the district is serviced by at least one operational cemetery.
