Whenua Tapu Chapel & Crematorium

Whenua Tapu Chapel & Crematorium

In 2021 the Porirua City Council’s chapel and crematorium was officially re-opened after an impressive refresh and earthquake strengthening project. Renovations included a new roof, flooring and the addition of a kitchen and ‘cup of tea’ area.

A new, energy efficient cremator was also installed.
