Addington Cemetery: Find the grave of your ancestor
Do you have an ancestor buried in Addington Cemetery? Come along and we will help people find the graves of their ancestors.
Members of the Addington Neighbourhood Association will be present to search the Cemeteries Database, to find where your ancestor is buried in the cemetery. We will then guide you to the relevant grave. Graves in Addington Cemetery are not presented in a linear order, and there are no visible grave numbers. This is an opportunity to navigate the unmarked rows of graves in the Addington Cemetery and locate the grave of an ancestor.
The Addington Cemetery is linked to many past residents of Addington, and to many non-Anglican settlers in Christchurch.
We hope to encourage people to discover their family links to the cemetery, and in the future, share background stories of their ancestors buried in the cemetery.
