Public cemetery in Karori, Wellington, New Zealand

Karori Cemetery, located in the Wellington suburb of Karori, is the second-largest cemetery in New Zealand. It opened in 1891 to replace Bolton Street Cemetery, and reached capacity and was closed to most burials in the 1960s when Mākara Cemetery opened. Karori Cemetery contains several heritage-listed structures and is the burial place of many notable people. It is popular as a quiet recreation area for walking, jogging and cycling, and for heritage-related exploration and tours.
