The Domain Road Cemetery is believed to be the first European-style cemetery established in the Whakatāne township. The first recorded burial there was in 1899, but it is known to be older than that. The cemetery has never been officially closed, as there are purchased plots still unused. There are a lot of unmarked graves. I have done my best with the help of Council records to place these graves as close as possible to their location. Check with the Whakatane Council if you need an exact location. Also some dates may not be absolutely correct, as I have found errors, mainly in transposing of the day and month.
