About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Trustees were appointed for the maintenance of Lincoln cemetery in 1879, and by the following year, the cemetery was ready for use. The first interment took place in 1880. Whilst no records of the Lincoln Cemetery Board can be located, it appears that in the early years, the cemetery was laid out in at least four blocks: Church of England, Presbyterian, Baptist and Roman Catholic. The Lincoln Cemetery Board still existed in the mid-1940s, but it is not known when the cemetery was handed over to the Paparua County Council. It is located next to the golf course and is now managed by Selwyn District Council. It contains the official war grave of 1 man who served in the New Zealand Forces during World War 1. This is Private George Lawrence Crossen who died of phthisis on 13 October 1919.
