Cleaning graves

Denise from Marewa

Thank you to Diane, Lyn and Derek who joined the NZ Remembrance Army cleaning graves in the Napier Hill cemetery today. What lovely people you are and what a difference you made.

Some graves are a huge effort but in a lot of cases, 15 minutes can restore a long neglected grave. NZ Remembrance Army do the soldier graves in the cemeteries but they are a fraction of what is required. All of our local cemeteries have graves that need some cleaning.

Some of our team will be back at the hill cemetery on Sunday morning (for most of the day). Please join us if you can spare even half an hour. We'll show you how we do it with a few tools and just water.

Bring a bucket, scraper and two scrubbing brushes (one soft and one firm), a brush and pan. If you are driving, a broom is good too.

We definitely need homes that are fit to live in but there are often frustrations when it comes to getting consent to modify your own home.
Do you think changes need made to the current process for building consent? Share your thoughts below.
