Hillcrest Cemetery is on the Whakatāne-Ōhope Road. The first burial recorded was in 1944, and its 5.6 hectares have been developed to include a Garden of Memories, lawn cemetery and memorial cemetery. A separate RSA section offers areas for burials and ashes. The cemetery is located in a very peaceful area, with large trees and gardens surrounded by farmland. The Council employs a full-time sexton to maintain the area.
