Location: Puketapu Road, on hills west of Taradale Township.

The cemetery was consecrated on 30th May 1877, on land given to the Anglican Church in Taradale by Henry Stokes Tiffen. The cemetery was laid out in the fashion of the times with separate areas for Anglicans, Roman Catholic and Presbyterians.

Further land was bought by the Presbyterian church in 1926. The Taradale Borough Council took over the responsibility for running the cemetery in 1943.

Marist Brothers Graves

There is an interesting link with the history of the Marist brothers whose seminary was about 1.5 kilometers away to the north. There is a large group of graves of Marist brothers, each grave topped with a plain cross. Lower on the slope is the tall memorial to Father R.P.E. Regnier S.M. founder of many of the Catholic parish churches in Hawkes Bay.
