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.

The Canterbury Provincial Memorial is situated in Christchurch (Ruru) Cemetery, which will be found in Ruru Road, Bromley, Christchurch. The memorial consists of a low block with a tall spire rising from the centre, behind which is a low curved stone seat. It commemorates 33 Commonwealth servicemen of the 1914-1918 War and 10 Commonwealth servicemen from the 1939-1945 War who were either buried in New Zealand or buried at sea and who have no known grave.
