Crematorium upgrade concept image

Pyes Pā Memorial Park Crematorium Upgrade

We’re replacing our ageing cremator and building a new fit-for-purpose crematorium to support the city’s future cremation needs.

New crematorium features

The replacement cremator is larger than the existing unit and requires a purpose-built facility that provides appropriate space for its operation and servicing.

The new facility will also improve the experience for families and whānau during one of life’s most sensitive times. It has been designed to provide greater privacy, better gathering spaces, and more flexibility to support a range of cultural practices and preferences.

Features include:

  • a dedicated viewing space
  • improved gathering spaces for friends and whānau
  • greater privacy around services.

 


Cremation and funeral services will continue during construction, with a secondary cremator operating throughout the works.

Key dates

  • Construction begins

    Monday, 12 October
  • Expected construction completion

    Mid-2027
