The list has been drawn up from typed transcripts held by the New Zealand Collection of the Canterbury Public Library, in Christchurch. These transcripts were mostly compiled by volunteers from the New Zealand Society of Genealogists . The transcripts contain a number of abbreviations, which I have used here, and they do not always reflect the exact wording on the gravestone. The strays table contains all people with other surnames included on the same tombstone or in the same plot as someone with one of the listed surnames. They are sorted by surname and then first name.
Some women appear in both lists.
The button will take you back to the letter index at the top of the page. Information in italics is drawn from the burial registers of the cemetery or church and not headstones. Names in bold face are my known relatives. A fuller description of all the cemeteries listed is below. Unless stated otherwise, the cemeteries are non-denominational.
