Graveside flowers: the council's rules
Inglewood Cemetery on Rata Street has served the local community since 1879. It has areas for monumental headstones and cremation plaques, plus a historic monumental area. If you want to leave flowers at a grave, note the New Plymouth District Council rule: floral tributes may be placed only on headstone bases, and no flowers or shrubs may be planted in lawn cemeteries. A vase arrangement or a bunch that sits neatly on the headstone base works best.
For a funeral service, send flowers to the funeral director or venue with the full name of the person who has died and the date and time. Our funeral flower etiquette guide helps with the card.
Marinoto Home & Hospital Care
Marinoto Home & Hospital Care at 72 Matai Street provides aged residential care. For a resident, a small arrangement in a vase is easy for staff to place. Include the resident's full name, and check with the home if the person is unwell.
Te Kōhanga Moa Marae
Te Kōhanga Moa Marae, with the Matamua meeting house, is in Inglewood and belongs to the Te Āti Awa hapū of Pukerangiora. If you are sending condolences for a tangihanga, read our guide to tangihanga and condolences first.
Spring gardens and town landmarks
The Taranaki Fringe Garden Festival opens private gardens around the region for ten days; in 2026 it runs from 30 October to 8 November. Flowers make a good thank-you for anyone opening their garden. Around town, the Inglewood Railway Station and Yard is a Category I heritage listing and the band rotunda on Rata and Moa Streets is Category II. Inglewood was also home to Fun Ho! Toys, and a museum still shows more than 3,000 toys – all handy landmarks when describing an address.
Dairy-farm deliveries
With a mainly dairy farming district around the town, many recipients may live on rural roads. Use the RD number exactly as the recipient writes it, add a phone number, and allow extra time for rural addresses. Sending to New Plymouth as well? See our New Plymouth page.
