Instead of going into Council Head Office at 20 Thames Street for enquiries and Council services, you can pop into Ōamaru Library at 62 Thames Street during the week or on a Saturday morning.
The Ōamaru library will be closed this Saturday 15 March as the staff will be down helping at the Ōamaru Friendly Bay Family Fun Day
You can use our cemetery search to locate burials and memorials in the Oamaru cemeteries - Old and Lawn cemetery and the Duntroon, Georgetown, Hampden, Herbert (Otepopo), Kurow, Livingstone, Macraes, Maheno, Ngapara and Papakaio cemeteries.
Palmerston cemetery burials are currently being added to the cemetery search. Omarama cemetery will be added to the database at a later date.
A map for each cemetery showing the block and plot numbers can be downloaded from our cemeteries information page.
Cemetery Search is maintained by Waitaki District Archive with the assistance of volunteers from the Oamaru Branch of the New Zealand Society of Genealogists. If you have further enquiries please contact the Waitaki District Archive by email archive@waitaki.govt.nz or phone 03 433 0852.
Please enter a surname and/or first names.
You can then filter your results by 'surname', 'date', 'cemetery' etc by clicking on the column title or the three dots next to it.
