Wakapuaka Crematorium

Nelson City Council owns the crematorium and contracts out its operation. There are two cremators and a chapel. The crematorium is open weekdays and Saturday mornings but can be opened at other times as agreed with the Cremator Operator who can be contacted on 03 545 1139. Wherever possible people's requests are met, for example some ethnic groups routinely attend the actual cremation.
