Remembrance
Our memorials
Every name carries a story. Our two online memorials give families, friends and communities a lasting place to honour those who served New Zealand — wherever they rest, and however long ago they served.
Ka maumahara tonu tātou ki a rātou — we will remember them.
A tribute gift
Lay a poppy
Lay a poppy on our Virtual Remembrance Wall for someone you want to remember. Add their name, a photo and a few words of your own, and your poppy takes its place on the wall alongside the others laid in remembrance.
- Choose from five poppy styles — including purple for animals in service and white for peace
- Add a name, a photo and your own dedication
- Record where they rest or are commemorated
Gifts from $20. Lay your poppy for a year, or renew it each year so it stays on the wall.
A lasting record
Wall of Remembrance
Create a memorial plaque for someone who served. Share their story and service history so family, researchers and future generations can find them and remember them.
- Record their units, deployments, ranks and honours
- Search the wall by name, corps, operation or honour
- Lay a $5 poppy on any plaque, now or later
Checked with care. Every memorial is reviewed by our team before it appears on the wall.
Lest We Forget
7 poppies laid in remembrance
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Laurence Binyon, For the Fallen, 1914
