Cemetery Database
Great News!
Napier, Hastings and Central Hawke's Bay Councils provide online databases that you can use to search records for people who are buried or interred within the cemeteries.
If you can not find the information you seek, you can email or phone the Cemetery Manager/Sexton at the cemetery, and they will be able to assist you. Ring your local Council who will put you through.
Thanks to the staff who work hard to ensure our cemeteries and crematorium are always well cared for. You do an excellent job.
The local Councils do their best to provide correct information. If any information you think is incorrect, please send the cemetery manager/sexton the accurate data with supporting documents if you have them.
Here are the links to go to the Databases.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

New neighbour
Okay folks, if you feed your animals outside, you might want to rethink that. We have new nocturnal neighbours, inside Havelock North.
There is a very well fed brush tail possum up the pōhutukawa tree in my garden.
I don’t know where it’s come in from, but it’s in the middle of a residential neighbourhood, so keep an eye on your pet doors, open windows and doors and pet food.
I’ll be notifying council and DOC tomorrow.
