Following a recent inspection of Kāpiti Coast cemeteries, several monuments at Ōtaki Cemetery have been identified as unstable. While owners are generally responsible for maintaining monuments, many of the monuments are old. We don’t have details of current family members in many cases.
In accordance with monumental regulations and in the interests of staff and public safety, these monuments will be laid down. We have put together an ongoing programme of work to repair and re-erect the affected monuments.
For any enquiries regarding these monuments, please contact us at [email protected].

Burial plots
You can choose a single or double burial plot.
Plots are also grouped by the type of memorial:
- lawn
- monumental.
Natural burial plots are single plots.
Ashes plots
Garden and monumental plots are available for ashes.
A cremation plot can hold two or more interments of ashes. The number it can hold depends on the size of the memorial plaque.
You can also inter ashes in an existing family plot.
