HISTORY OF SYDENHAM CEMETERY
Sydenham Cemetery opened in 1896 and along with Addington Cemetery, served the City of Christchurch and in particular the south western suburbs. Situated beside Somerfield Park, the cemetery is a busy pedestrian through-fare between Studholme and Simeon Streets. Typical of the older style of cemetery it has mostly large upright memorials with concrete surrounds and in many cases concrete tops to the graves.
The cemetery covers an area of 6.5177 ha and shares the trees and open space of adjoining parkland. In the last decade additional tree planting, garden development on grave tops and seats have been installed.
CURRENT USE [2000]
There is still demand to use this cemetery from families living in the locality
and having forebears and relatives interred in the cemetery. Full burial use is nearly at
an end as only 115 burial plots remain unused. About 21 interments are currently
undertaken annually. So far in the financial year of [2000] nine interments have been carried
out.
