Murder and Mayhem Tour

Join the Friends of Karori Cemetery in the earliest part of the cemetery. This tour is proof that history isn't boring.

Karori Cemetery is the final resting place for people whose lives ended tragically – from drowning, from murder, and from accidents of all kinds. This tour includes the story of three militia men killed in a guncotton explosion; an attempted murder followed by suicide; a drowning or two plus other exciting stories.
