Description

The Cemetery is currently under threat of slipping. 2018 a storm damaged the foreshore below and part of the old cemetery road up to the graves has now been lost due to the cliff face collapsing. Cemetery was open for burials from 1873 to 1997 when it closed. You can see the Cemetery sign from the road on the Google Map. Many of the gravestones in Tararu and Shortland do not record people's birthplaces. The Tararu sexton's records, randomly selected for 1879, show death listings for males born in Denmark, Norway and the Cape Colony.
