List of burial places of New Zealand prime ministers

Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The burial places of prime ministers of New Zealand are located across both New Zealand and England. In total, 42 people have served as Prime Minister of New Zealand, and of these 33 have died.

Unlike other countries, New Zealand does not have allocated funding for the upkeep of the burial sites of prime ministers. As a result many have become dilapidated and overgrown.[1]
