Waikumete Cemetery

Notes:

1) Please note that some days I visited the cemetery more than once. I might go through the cemetery to get somewhere, and then I will go through the cemetery on the way back. Hence some days have more than one entry.

2) Does not include every time I have been through the cemetery, as I may have been going elsewhere.

3) The Eleven Trees: There is six trees on one side of a path and five on the other side of the path that are all the same type of large tree.

4) Chapel 1 is usually open during the day, but Chapel 2 is usually closed. Thus the times that it is open when I have been over there are significant. However as of 2015 Chapel 2, seems to be open more days.

5) The Chapel of Faith in the Oaks, I shorten to the Chapel of Faith. This Chapel is always closed, it has two entries, one at each end.

6) Lord Harish Chandra Temple. Four posts holding up a roof. Was original unfenced, but had a fence on the 6 March 2014. Had a statuette, but this was gone on the 6 March 2014. This is probably the reason for the fence. The statuette was replaced by the 1 May 2014.

7) The Clearing: A small clearing in the woods that are in the cemetery. It is along side a dirt track that is through the woods. In the clearing is a large tree. There is piece of tree truck on the ground, that one can sit on. There is also a tree that has fallen down, but is still growing that you can sit on, part of the main trunk is on the ground, and then it grows up from there.

8) “Book of Memories,” original in widow of Chapel 2, but moved to Columbarium Niche Wall in garden, with Pegasus fountain. Columbarium is a place for storing funeral urns. Moved to Chapel 1 foyer, due to roof leak.

9) In 2015 I spilled water at my first and so far only grave. Please note it is by the leading of the spirit that I spill the water. Do not hold it against me for not spilling or spilling water at a certain grave. This has no effect on the overall salvation of the person or persons. In no way does this indicate a person's salvation, for all will have salvation one day.
