Taitā Cemetery opened in 1892. It was the first public cemetery in Lower Hutt. Before 1892, burials took place privately in church burial grounds, urupa, or nearby cemeteries such as the Bolton Street cemetery in Wellington. The first recorded interment took place in March 1892. Some burials were not recorded and there are gaps in the early burial registers. The cemetery was administered by the Taitā Cemetery Trust Board with support from Hutt County Council until 1948. When Taitā became part of Lower Hutt City in 1946, the authorities decided it would be more effective for Lower Hutt City Council to manage the cemetery. The original cemetery is known as the Old Monumental Cemetery.
