Field Trip - Exploring Auckland's Leading Cemeteries
Join us for an exclusive field trip to Waikumete Cemetery and Manukau Memorial Gardens, two of Auckland's most significant cemeteries, offering unique insights into the challenges and innovations shaping the sector.
At Waikumete Cemetery, explore the vast site and crematorium before delving into a thought-provoking session on capacity challenges and future planning as the cemetery transitions from an open burial ground. Learn about bespoke service options and innovative approaches to cemetery management.
At Manukau Memorial Gardens, witness the transformation of the newly refurbished chapel, office, and lounge, completed just in time for the conference. Gain valuable insights into managing Auckland's busiest cemetery, which serves over ten Muslim groups and South Auckland's large Pasifika community. A dedicated presentation will cover key challenges and successes, from adornment management to the strong community relationships that define this site.
This field trip is a must for those looking to deepen their understanding of cemetery operations, future-proofing strategies, and cultural inclusivity in memorial spaces.
