About Symonds Cemetery
Symonds Street Cemetery was the first official cemetery in Auckland, in use from 1842.`{`5`}` Originally it was divided into four sections for Anglicans, Catholics, Jews, and a shared Presbyterian, Wesleyan, and general section. By 1852, the shared section became Presbyterian, and an additional Wesleyan and general section was added.`{`2`}` After the establishment of a new municipal cemetery in West Auckland at Waikumete, the Symonds Street Cemetery was closed for burials in 1886, other than to existing family plots.`{`5`}` No new plots were sold. In 1909 the Auckland City Council took over management of the cemetery.
