This cemetery is on Pine Avenue, Upper Hutt, on the grounds of St. Joseph's Church. There are no individual headstones in this cemetery. Inscribed granite panels flank a Cross on the outer rear wall of the church commemorating individuals buried in the cemetery. There is 1 Commonwealth burial of the 1939-1945 war commemorated here.

The wooden church was built in 1864 and dismantled in 1961

In 1964 the burial ground was closed and burials only take place in reserved plots - it was vested to the Archbishop pursuant to section 44 of the Burial and Cremation Act 1964.

The Archbishop was authorized to remove all headstones, monuments and grave surrounds and dispose of them as he saw fit. The burial ground was to be cleared, leveled, sown in grass and planted with trees and shrubs. He was not authorized to disturb any of the remains of any person.

A memorial inscribed with the names of the persons known to be buried was to be erected.
