The Ashburton Cemetery, located off the corner of Bremners Road and Seafield Road on the northern side of Ashburton, is the largest cemetery in the district. The cemetery provides for burials and ash interments. There are separate areas for returned services personnel and children under 9 years. There is also a remembrance book administered by Paterson's Funeral Services Ltd. and a memorial garden for past stillborn children. The Ashburton Cemetery also includes the historic sexton's building. The building is an eight-sided building with two long sides. It was restored in 1994 by the Pakake Lions Club and officially opened by Prime Minister and MP for Rakaia the Rt Hon Mrs. Jenny Shipley on 8 April 1998.
