We also provide financial assistance to a further four cemeteries that are managed by trustees (Clinton, Crookston, Owaka and Tuapeka), and provide financial assistance to the maintenance of various war memorials throughout the district.
The Balclutha, Kaitangata, Lawrence, Milton and Tapanui cemeteries have 'Memorial Beams', for people whose loved ones may have been interred elsewhere to place a plaque of remembrance if they wish. If you would like to place a plaque on a Memorial Beam, or if you have any queries regarding cemeteries, please contact us on (03) 419 0200.

Information Kiosks
In 2009, Council began a programme of installing information kiosks and block numbers at the urban cemeteries it directly operates throughout the district, in an effort to make it easier for people to track down buried loved ones.
The information kiosks are placed at the entrance to the cemetery and house a map identifying block areas, as well as some historical information. Each row of headstones will also have small, unobtrusive block numbers placed at ground level.
The following cemeteries have had kiosks installed to date. (Click on an icon to view the information panels and map layout of each cemetery).
